Brother in law's awful comment

I spent this afternoon visiting family-parents, brother and SIL, sister and BIL, cousin and husband and 4 young children, the oldest 2 1/2.  My brother in law, whom I could never stand said to me out of the blue, "It's too bad you'll never have a baby since your husband is now crippled."  Confused  He shot a bull's eye into one of my greatest fears and something I am too afraid to even think about.

 WTF would anyone say that to me when I have a hard enough time just keeping it together?  Thank goodness my brother said something to him.  I left shortly afterwards because I just didn't want to be in his presence. 

Anyone know a hitman for hire?  Stick out tongue

    The D bag probably thought it was funny in his warped, over drugged and over alcoholed mind.  I always knew he was a total A hole but this is above and beyond even for him.

    And he is able to procreate at will while my husband and so many other responsible, caring men who would make great parents cannot.

    Yes, a swift kick to the balls with steel toed boots and then a knock out punch is what he needs.  I hope your brother went off on him.   I hope the rest of your trip goes well and you don't have to see your BIL again.  I am so sorry hon.  

    ((hugs))  Why are people so mean?  poor Mofree- you need a break.

    OMG I am in disbelief. The tragedy you two just went through is most likely going to bring you even closer together. Its just a matter of letting him heal before you can go full throttle TTC. What kind of useless trash would say that to someone? He must be such a miserable person. Stay far, far away from that one. So sorry you had to deal with that.
