Today, my stepdad joked about my "terrible, selective memory" while at a restaurant. I was diagnosed with transient global amnesia two weeks ago. I started crying and everyone stared, including him. FML.

Did he already know about your diagnosis? (Not sure how old you are and if you handle your own medical care) If he did, what an unbelievable prick. You don't just casually joke about a serious medical condition like that. Even if he didn't know, I can understand why that'd be so upsetting for you. I hope your condition is treatable, or that there are at least easy ways to adjust your life around it. Best of luck, OP.

Sounds like your step dad was trying to make light of it and screwed up terribly. Sucks about the diagnosis, FYL.

I'm sorry I'm a little bit ignorant to this condition and Google wasn't helpful. Is this condition permanent?
