What a mess. But it's one that was made before I even made the post. I think I just pointed it out, and called attention to it.
Turns out not everyone thinks me pointing out that one of my sister who makes "knowledgable statements" without checking anything or even thinking them through, is appropriate. This sister has a champion, and it's one of my other sisters. She pointed out how mean I was, and she's right, but I wasn't nearly as mean as she (the statement-making sister) was when she told me that I ruined the floor in her precious basement suite, and that I caused the smell.
It's also a bit rich when she kept telling me to get over it, and I "needed to get over it on my own time". She will never, ever know what it's like to be told by this same sister that she had destroyed a part of her property, or had caused it to be significantly less comfortable than it should have been. She will never know what it is to walk a mile in my shoes. My shoes only fit me, and I'm the only one who can see the miles I have to walk. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I am the only one in my immediate family who will suffer ableism at the hands of this woman. If any of these unforeseen circumstances ever happen, she'll be the one at their door after the incident, whatever it was, with forms and "knowledge", telling them she can get them housekeeping services courtesy of the provincial government.
