Really angry at peoples attitude to disabled.

My bil made a comment on facebook about my hubby being a scrounger, because his my carer and how at least his hard work paid for his car. We have a motability car. due to me having stage 4 lung disease, ehlos danlos syndrome, with arthiritis and cfs. What is wrong with people.

Terminal stupidity

The thing to remember is that your BIL is the exception - most people aren't like that.

People are stupid.

They see the 'easy' part of neither of you needing to 'work' and getting 'free stuff' but conveniently forget about the part where you are living and dealing with a difficult illness.

It's just jealousy with severe lack of thought (would he prefer to be in your position? I very much doubt it) - I'd just let it go over your head.

I wouldn't worry what others say or think. There's a lot of nasty people out there. I can't work because of my illness and disability and i claim ESA and PIP but i'd gladly give both up if i had my health and could work. Sadly that's not going to be possible ever. I'd love to see those that moan go through what i deal with daily, they'd soon shut up!

Delete and block, then remove this toxic person from your life

People use Fakebash to write tripe about other people.

Your BIL sounds like the sort of person you should remove from your life. He must know the details of your illness, and he's just nasty - and jealous of the car.

I'd be tempted to write a comment on facebook saying how he too can have a "free car" if he just agrees to painful and life limiting illnesses.

People like that do my head in.

Sensible people object to scroungers, but support people who genuinely need help.

Simple answer just tell him you would gladly swap with him. He can have your life and you take his. I know which I would chose. You don't need to go into much detail but a quick explanation of what you go through on a daily basis might make him think.

I would actually write that answer on face book sometime the written word sinks in more than a spoken reply it also gives other chance to read you response I don't like Facebook but on this occasion it would be good to see the other comments as i am sure people will comment in support of you.
