Was I Wrong?!

Hey Guys.. You may or may not have noticed, but I havent been here for a few days, but Ive been pretty rushed off my feet.. Anyway I had abit of a problem the other day, in which has resulted in my opinion being altered of a few individuals and I just had to share with my fellow bloggers as I need some external views.. An old family friends of my Mums was having a birthday party.. and basically EVERY year my Mum and my sister turn up without fail.! Anyhow.. this year, after many dramatic family events my Mum wanted us all to turn up to this as a FAMILY and to just have a nice time together.. so I finally agreed to go but ONLY if my sister went with me.. Okay the whole source of the whole night buggering up.. was a 15 year old physically challenged teenager- see the thing is I dont know the exact/correct terminology of what his condition is but basically I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR his mental capacity of understanding 'right and wrong' is not affected by his disability.. Okay all I know is that me and my sister were the main 'victims' of this teens antics- as soon as we turned up he was grabbing us with his 'good arm' and would kiss your face off.. and at first, we laughed and joked about it, more out of embarrassment- but he kept doing it!!! Over and over and over!!! SO it got to the point where every time he approached me or my sister, I would push him away by putting my hand over his mouth.. his parents would tell him to stop but their efforts were weak.. my Mum would defend this too.. As the night progressed, it got to about 10pm and my Mum, my sister, myself (of course), that teenager, were standing in the living room- and everyone else was in the garden.. and to make this as easy as possible.. lets put it this way- there was a possibility that the people outside COULD have seen what happened- but it didnt really matter whether they did or not the humilation in itself was enough... BASICALLY THIS TEENAGER- HAD THE CHEEK, THE AUDACITY TO PULL MY TOP DOWN IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!! I MEAN COME ON.. HE GRABBED THE FRONT OF IT AND MY BRA AND JUST YANKED!!! So Ive lost my temper STRAIGHT AWAY- HOW DARE HE!!! Told himto get out my face, using the *F* curse word.. and my Mum who had first hand witnessed what this kid done, jumped to his defense!!! Which Infuriated me.. honestly.. I mean all these years I kept my body to myself and now I couldnt tell you how many people have seen me.. I know it may seem minor to some, but to me it is MASSIVE.. Im the kind of girl that doesnt even feel comfortable taking my socks off in front of a man.. even one Ive known for years- THATS JUST ME.. I CANT HELP IT.. So Me and my Mum had a MASSIVE fight, because I tried to get her to understand how I felt.. and it just wound me up more and more- because she was making excuses for him.. 'thats the way he is though..' and other phrases to that effect.. so I told her.. so hypothetically- (*GOD FORBID IT EVER HAPPENS*) If one of us girls got raped, would she make the excuse then?... SHE HAD NOTHING TO SAY- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! I tried to explain how Invaded and humiliated some kid made me feel, but she just would not understand.. AND I KNOW THIS KID HAS NOT DONE THIS TO ANYONE ELSE BEFORE!!! MY SISTER EVEN CONFIRMED THIS (*AND SHE HAS KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS- SHE PRETTY MUCH GREW UP WITH HIM*) Guys, was I wrong?.. I know I hurt my Mum with some of the things I said and I did feel extremely guilty- IT WAS THE FIRST EVER MY MUM SAW ME SMOKE..!! She knows I smoke, dont get me wrong (*and she HATES it*) but I have NEVER smoked in front of her..it was mainly HER that got me so angry, not the action of that kid although I seriously nearly knocked him out.. Have your parents ever done this? Please help.. I dont want to lose my Mum..

No vivamir, I stand with you 100% I know some cultures have this "respect your elders" thing, but that only goes so far. If an elder is wrong, whether my own parents, (though both are gone now) or a complete stranger, that gives them no right to act that way, she should have defended you..It makes me sick to think a parent or any clear minded adult would defend this guy and personally, even if he also had a mental handicap, if he can't learn that kind of behavior is wrong, he has no business being at a party like that!!!

Have you talked to your mom since this happened? Maybe sit her down for a serious discussion on why she didn't stand up for you? Why she thought this teenager's action was acceptable?

Hi carmelanirel.. I cant believe all you guys understand where I am coming from- EXCEPT my own mother- I stand with you strongly on your views, as I thought my Mum did.. But Ive learnt a valuable lesson.. that actions certainly do speak louder than words.. And her actions, were pathetic..! If that was my child who had been exposed in such a way.. that kid would have been dragged straight to his parents and dealt with there and then.. instead, I had to fight with my Mum (*in private of course*) on top of being humiliated.. and she still would not understand my eventual anger tantrum! If anyone EVER did that to my Mum or Baby Sis- Id knock their pearly whites all over the place!! I mean, theres respecting elders, but what about us younger ones- doesnt mean we should treated like grated garbage.. I just hope I can overcome this anger, before it destroys whats left of our relationship.. Thanks for your response (",)

Whoa bobby, she said this kid had physical handicap, not mental, and what he did was totally wrong and her mother should have stood up for her daughter!!!!

Thanks carmelanirel.. I think someone needs to be paying more attention to the posts.. I may have hurt her feelings bobbyjay28 (*and I dont feel good for doing so*) but she hurt me in a way that I can never forgive her for.. Or so that it how I feel at the moment.. (",)

I think u have a right to be upset w/the whole situation. I wish u had knocked him out, that's what he needed. i'm sure he knew better if his mental state is o.k. As for your mom, SHAME ON HER, for not taking up for u.My parents didn't always take up for me when they should have so i know how u feel.Your mom should be coming to u & apologizing.

Hi ANQIUELADY... I wish I did now!!! And days on now.. he still hasnt even been spoken to as far as Im aware!! I have lost alot of respect for my Mum, and its damaged alot of feelings that I have towards her, Its awful when they dont understand because you think they most certainly would..they are our own flesh and blood!!! Its done now.. I just feel so let down.. she knows Id do anything for her- and she knows it.. but now I feel like I cant anymore.. sad really.. Thanks for your response (",)

I understand how you feel and I think you have the right to your own reaction. That kid was just really f*** up. Give it some time. Your mum must still love you even if she didn't chose your side.

You weren't wrong.`I don't know how far his disability has got.Now that he hasn't done this to anyone else before,It goes to show that everyone wants to be friends with you.However,the kid went too far so that you stretched your patience to the limit,because you are too prim and proper to enjoy such a behaviour.Your Mum couldn't help it,She did so with a view to sparing her friend's feelings,so you shouldn't take it to heart.

Hi changjihangzhibin89.. I appreciate your comment and I do understand where your coming from, but shes always been this way- keeping up appearances, deal with issues behind closed doors, which is what I would have done.. if she didnt automatically make me feel I was wrong for telling the little idiot to F-off.. She reacted defending another kid who has just openly abused her own.. Im disgusted by her to be quite honest.. (",) Thanks for your response friend..

hi vivamir, you were not wrong at all. I can tell you if that had happened to me I would have struck him down in a second so he would crash to the floor. Shame on your mother for not defending you. She is the one who should be very aware about how close she is to losing a child (you) cause she wont get to your defense when needed.
