The Believe that Disability Brings Bad Luck to the Family
A deaf man share his story about how his mother was often insulted by the relatives because of having him and without a husband. When he was found out to be deaf, they cursed that his disability was caused by his mother’s lack of maternal virtues and it was his mom fault that he has disability.
A woman with visual impairments shared that people think that when a child with disabilities is born, the family is not blessed. They will hide the child whenever someone comes over to visit. That’s why even our family’s friends, who have known us for decades, still do not know that a member of my family is blind.
