Im officially so sick of people! I was nearly attacked for breastfeeding my son, completely covered, in public. Heres what happened.

So its almost 10am this morning and my fiance and I are making breakfast after i had just put Henry down to sleep and all of the sudden the police come knocking on the door. We answer and they tell us that my fiances brother got bumped by a car but he was fine. But since hes only 14 they took him to the children's hospital. They cant get a hold of his mom so we pack up the car and go to be with him until they can get his mom there to discharge him. Well they only let one of us in the room so my fiance went in and i stayed in the family waiting room with Henry. Well a few hours went by and Henry got hungry. I breastfeed so I throw my breastfeeding cover on and slip Henry under it to feed. Keep in mind that this thing covers me from my shoulder to my waist. You cant see anything! Well im sitting there and this man comes in and sits down, he looks at me and shakes his head and asks me to stop and that im being indecent. He had the nerve to ask me to stop feeding my child. Im just feeding my baby, im wearing a cover and you cant see anything. If you dont like it, you dont have to watch." So he gets up and leaves. Only to come back with two security officers...They ask me whats happening so i explain that I was just feeding my son. The security officers explain ti the man that im not doing anything wrong and tell him to leave me alone. And that this hospital supports breastfeeding. Well the officers apologize for bothering me while i was nursing and go on their way. The man left too for a few moments and then came back, only to start yelling about how im an indecent whore, that im disgusting, trying to cause infidelity, and that I was going to hell for exposing myself in public. (i most certainly at no point exposed any part of my body. The nursing cover was on before i started nursing) Then after he told me to stop again and i refused, he kicked my diaper bag across the floor. And got in my face and said if i didnt stop then he would make me stop. Thank god someone had been getting security while this was going on and they grabbed him seconds before he tried to put his hands on me. He then tried to fight off the security officers and punched one. So they called metro police and arrested him for assault. I seriously can not believe that all of that happened just because I was feeding my child. Covered even. I had never been so afraid for me and my child and I really believe he would have attacked us if someone hadnt gotten help. But im not gonna let him scare me out of breastfeeding in public. I will not be forced to feed my son in some nasty bathroom stall. Im covered anyways so why should it matter where i do it? No one can see a thing at any point in the feeding. If anything im just more determined to get over any fear or feeding my son outside of my home and not to care what other people think or say about how i choose to feed or parent my child. My worst breastfeeding fear came true, and i can honestly say im a stronger woman and mother because of it.
