I need to talk about something.
It’s been a long month of my terminally ill mother being in the hospital with stage 4 colorectal cancer. After my latest visit with her and more bad news my daughter and I decided on the way home from the hospital to stop for some donuts at a spot we never go to.
My best friend called while I was waiting for my daughter to run in so we just decided to sit and chat and decompress for a bit and eat our donuts. A truck pulls up beside us but about 1 spot away and kids get out and I think his partner.. I glance over at him and I can very clearly see his phone is propped on the door of his vehicle pointed towards our car. He wasn’t sitting angled towards us or anything, he was sitting forward with just the top part of his phone sitting above the edge of the door. Daughter turned away from him and I felt so uncomfortable that we left.
I haven’t been able to shake this icky feeling. He had kids. He was probably my age or OLDER. I am 35. My daughter who is plus size but to a smaller degree was just like 🤷♀️ happens all the time. Why do people feel the need to take photos like plus sized people are side show freaks? I have anxiety and I cannot stop thinking about what kind of hatred he was spewing to someone else about me and my kid innocently sitting enjoying our dessert and talking in our car.
