I have been told AGAIN by MIL both last night in front of family and again just now, that I do not need to learn ASL as no one else is going to learn. She does not feel that the kids need to learn. She wants to see if the kids can get CI's and is offering to pay for it. She still feels that I am faking my hearing loss.
Hubby hollered back that I was in fact deaf and did in fact have a hearing loss. He also told her that he fully supports my desire to learn ASL and he will do what he can to help me achieve that goal. My kids just bellowed and hollered to her that they had no wish what-so-ever to have HA's or CI's. They refuse to go through the surgery. Daughter told her that having a HA or CI will not help her speech recognition at all. Everything will still sound "fuzzy" and "muted". MIL started in again after that and hubby told her that if she did not stop, then he was moving us back out of state in spite of the fact that she got this loan for our house. HE also told her that if she didn't stop, then he would try and see what he could do to damage his hearing so as to not hear her belligerence and idiocy anymore.
Wow!! Just Wow!! She brought it up again this morning and I asked her if she wanted to me call hubby and tell him what she just said. She apologized and said no, she will give it up.
