“I said that living in the shadows in a life of shame hurts, that it makes things worse, and that I chose to be honest about my addiction because I am not ashamed of who I am,” he said.
His neighbor claimed that he was trying to glorify his addiction, which was not at all what he was trying to do.
She thought that speaking about alcoholism this way was disrespectful to everyone who had dealt with any family having alcoholism in their lives.
And while he apologized if that was what she was going through, he still felt like honesty was the best policy. She threatened him by saying that if her children ever found him passed out on the grass, then he should expect problems from her.
Later on, the second neighbor that had stopped by warned him that the first neighbor was really upset by what had transpired. She also said that that kind of talk will probably rub a lot of other neighbors the wrong way as well.
“I said that I understood but explained the thing about shame to her. She said that I would never have to worry about her judging me but to watch out for that woman’s crew,” he stated.
Do you think that what he said was disrespectful, or do you think that his neighbor was being too harsh and judgemental?
