Came from Wal-Mart a little while ago with my DD. When she is with me we park in a handicapped spot. She had just gotten back in the car and I was putting things in the trunk when I noticed an older couple walking past the car giving me dirty looks. One was saying to the other "they don't look handicapped" and then they were looking to see what kind of person had just gotten in the car to see if they were elderly. I guess they saw it was a teenage girl and they shook their heads in disgust.
I was so dumbfounded. I got in the car and felt my eyes water up because I hated that someone would think I was such a low life that I would take up a handicapped space inappropriately. Then I got mad. Mad at them that they were so ignorant and mad at myself for not saying something. How should I handle this if it happens again?
Even though she is walking so much better I know the doctor still wants us using the handicapped parking. We saw the doctor just last week and she said she wanted us still using it so Laura doesn't use up all her energy getting in the store and she will have strength to walk around without having to rest in the shoe dept.
Any advice?
