Many years since I was born Deaf. No one in my family knows signs. My mother used to know some more but now, not really that much anymore. She started to demand me to write down or text whatever I need or want to say to her.
6 or little more than 6 years ago from today, I asked my parents to learn ASL. My mom promised me that they will learn. Few weeks later after that, I asked them again and my mom promised AGAIN. So it kept going and my mom kept making promise but never do it. This year; last Nov, my father died and even worse he died not knowing ASL. If he knew, we'd be much closer than we used to be. I was so mad that he died not knowing ASL.
My family still haven't learn ASL at all. They only know some "home" signs. I am so fed up with them. They failed to meet me at my half way since I got Cochlear Implant when I was 3 years old. NOW I feel like I am being forced to get new CI and take speech therapy to just have damn communication with them!
Right now, I am planning to get new one this summer because not only that reason, I also want to listen to music again. I missed music.
Meanwhile, How do I make them to learn ASL? Even if I get new one, I still need them to learn ASL.
