My daughter-in-law was born profoundly deaf, but does not identify with the Deaf Community, mainly because she attended normal school and university, despite being unable to speak. My wife and I learned to communicate with her through signing, and Frances has two beautiful children, both hearing. She is a wonderful mother, wife and generally a great person.
That is such heartwarming news to hear! I’m happy to hear she’s doing so well for not everyone does that well in the mainstream. Thank you for sharing.
I am happy I found your substack. Matthew directed me here. Your post explores deafness from personal experience and it humbles me. My brother is 89% deaf, and I attempted to write about it from my point of view. Thank you for this beautiful post!
