Why should I apologize for things I do with my life? You see i have cerebral Palsy, *I was born with this, I call it a gift instead of what most people call it. They call it a tragedy. I don't think God made a mistake making any of us, least of all,me.
My mother recently told me she's sorry I was ever born. Can you believe her, as I see it if not for my life she would not have the grandchildren she has etc. I tried to explain this to her but all knowledge fell on a deaf ear.
I already know that I don't have to apologize for things beyond my control. I have been blessed with a challenge, although it may be a life-long challenge I feel that I was made for a reason.
The scary part is that my mom is herself a person with physical disabilities. Yet, she calls me a cripple.
I have had a regular life like everyone else I don't think i owe anyone an apoogy for living , loving, and raising numerous healthy, happy yong people. What do you all think of her atitude towards me. How should I handle this?
I am glad I felt that I could ask for various opinions, please feel free to chime in, whatever that opinion may be. all are welcome.

I admire your optimism. I just could not grasp why a mother would say that. I mean, instead of encouraging you, she seems pulling you down.
I know you can get through life because of your positive outlook. :D
