I have a five month old daughter who has been diagnosed as having torticollis and brachial plexus palsy. This pretty much means that her head tilts very bad to the left and she has partial paralysis of her left arm due to nerve damage sustained during birth. It is very obvious to anyone that sees her that she cannot hold her head straight and that she has been behind on gross/fine motor skills because of this. However, she is a very beautiful baby and is so smart. My problem is not with people asking why she holds her head that way or anything. My problem is that her father does not want anyone knowing that his daughter has a "disability". I think that if people ask that I should be allowed to tell them that she has this birth injury and that with physical therapy she will regain/compensate a lot of what she lost. He gets mad at me for telling anyone about it (even family). My question is, what would you do? Should I tell people (if asked) or should I keep quiet?
