That's harsh. If that were me, my sister-in-law would be getting a talking to as to how horrifically, and tragically ignorant she is, and how she and I would never be having any conversations ever again, unless it was absolutely necessary. I know it shouldn't be so, but lack of understanding of my illness, and blatant demonstration of such really gets me anger.
