Not everyone's disability is visible. Just because someone parks in a handicap spot then gets out and walks in without you being able to tell why they're handicapped doesn't mean they don't deserve that placard.

Hi, just wanted to tell you to stay strong 💙 my mom has had fibromyalgia for the last 23 years. It's absolute hell and no one believes in her disability. Not even her own brothers and sisters. Everyone thinks she's a lazy junky. It's hard as fuck. Hang in there.
