How would you feel if your mother was an amputee?

Would you be embarrassed that your mother is disabled and physically dependent on others? Or would you be proud to be her child?

I imagine that would depend a great deal on my mother's attitude and approach toward life.

@hlpflwthat are you saying if she was feeling sorry for herself all the time, you would be ashamed of her? what if she does her best to stay active and positive but still struggles with depression? would you still judge her? please give me an honest answer, i can take it

I would never be ashamed of my mother for her disabilities. I'm forever grateful she brought me into this world. Her best is all she - or anyone else - can do.

For the record, my mother is diagnosed MDD, disabled and learned a few weeks ago she has terminal lung cancer at 82. None of these are close to the first things I think about when my mother comes to mind, though I admit that the terminal cancer thing has been hovering in my head more than I like.
