Coworkers was no filter

So of course everyone at work knows about my health issues and worries. Well I heard my very load coworker talking about me and my family. She said it was selfish of me to be with someone who already was a disabled child because if I died he'd be stuck having to raise 2 disabled kids and a child that should be on meds to calm him down. Everyone in the office could hear her. I stepped out and she went oh my gosh I said that to loud. I'm sorry. I simply said thanks for worrying about my family and went back into my office. She did get pulled into our boss's office.

Incredibly inappropriate and I hope the boss lets her know that in no uncertain terms.

@OlderSometimesWiser she was sent home early, but now I feel bad. I don't want her to lose pay over this. But it was hurtful what she said, even more so about my son. She's never meet him. He's 6 kids are hyper at that age. I guess I won't be sharing any more family stories with her.

@Cigarguy101 You have absolutely no reason to feel bad. At the very least, she owes you an apology. What she said was way out of line. And yes, I certainly wouldn’t be sharing anything personal with her anymore.

@OlderSometimesWiser Joe always tells me that I'm too nice he says that somebody would just smack me across the face then fall down I would probably help them up he's not wrong

@Cigarguy101 Sounds like despite this unfortunate situation there are valuable lessons to be learned, about others but more importantly about yourself. A person can be nice but at the same time know where and when to put boundaries in place. And enforce them whenever necessary.
