I need input from d/Disabled people and d/Disabled people only
How do you feel about people who are caregivers for family members (particularly spouses) saying they wished the disabled person they're caring for was dead?
I personally find it awful, but it's so accepted especially in media that sometimes I feel like the only person it bothers.
As I typed out the question, I realized it might be a silly question because I see a direct correlation between that and the reason for Disability Day of Mourning (DDoM). That mindset is literally exactly why DDoM exists!
