After I went off on her. I really had to stop, and had a moment of oh shit. Did I really just say that, especially in a time where EVERYTHING you say is offensive. I feel the big problem is stuttering is not known like other disabilities. So people are reacting off of what they know. I get it to a point, and yes I was literally seeing red. I was hoping when she left work. She get hit by a bus or something, but I know if I think like that. I'm no better than her. So staying positive is better than negativity. Doesn't help either that we all have to wear masks. So people really can't see your mouth. Makes it a little bit harder to notice what is going on.
