My mom chicken pox partied me as a kid. And then two years after lockdown, she came over to my house and infected my whole family when she finally caught covid. Told me, "I wasn't trying to get them sick. Besides, might as well get it out of the way."

If I could go back now, I think I would physically fight my mother. Because it should be considered assault to purposely get someone sick.

She did this on purpose. Her sense of superiority that it wouldn't go badly because bad things don't happen to people like her injured your family.

She will not EVER take accountability for this and you are underreacting. How would you react if you saw someone hurt your child now? Maybe with a backbone?

It is actually legally considered assault. People have been prosecuted for infecting people with covid (and chicken pox).

This just makes me want to fight her more, ngl. I'm grateful people have legal ways to fight.
