My brother is a terrible person, truly.
But there is one remark that he made that made me decide that I never want to get close to him again.
When me and him were visiting my grandma he said to her, to her fucking face. That she, a sick old woman who's 90 years old, "contributed nothing to society".
The feelings of disgust that welled up in me after I heard that made me so furious, not explosive anger, but this current of rage against him. How fucking dares he.
NO ONE is worthless. EVERYONE is worth something. Being disabled you have to live in a society where the world wants to throw you in a wayside ditch. Where you have to constantly justify your existence and worth.
I do not tolerate anyone who repeats such language towards anyone. -

I do not tolerate anyone who repeats such language towards anyone.@nagirin I'm the primary caregiver of my 70 + year old mother (or used to be - it's a long story - we both became homeless and she ended up in the hospital, then in a nursing home, I still take care of her because she isn't being properly attended to by the staff there and visit every day, per her own wishes) and the amount of times people said things like this to my face is more than I can recall. It's very common in modern society, and it never fails to sicken me. -
