Has anyone had been called "deaf brat " in the hearing world?
My mom calls me that all the time, but I kept telling her that DEAF AND HEARING people are not different. She doesn't understand anything about deaf culture and she hurt my feelings by calling me that word. I believe that interpreters are more knowledge in deaf culture than any hearing parents with deaf children. I don't know how to have mom stop calling me that word... Any suggestions and advice would be very helpful since I feel insulted and deeply hurt in the hearing world.
