Entitled Mother pushes me away in my wheelchair to take my spot.

A few years ago I was living in Las Vegas, and an entitled mother literally wheeled me away

from my family. I have a number of health issues, and after a few botched surgeries and

neurological damage, I was bedridden. I never left my house or bed except for doctor's appointments.

I hadn't been out at all for two and a half years. I'd worked really hard on my daily physical

but in the moment I was just trying to not get squished by all the people bustling by

who couldn't see me. I had one poor guy basically land in my lap. I was a little preoccupied,
