Here’s the thing. Most of the people in this world will pretty much say anything. I’m not saying everybody, but most people will just say shit whether or not they know it to be true. I mean, that’s the truth. Most people will just say whatever pops into their head because they have a really strong need to be heard. I guess that’s why I didn’t take it out on my sister’s pea-brained boyfriend Bobby when he said that going to an alcohol treatment center wouldn’t really make a difference in the life of a true alcoholic. I didn’t hate him for needing to be validated. When you think about it, it’s kind of a natural human need. I never really approached him about how terribly he had misspoken because I would have had to divulged our family secret. A long time ago, I was checked in to an alcohol treatment center. It’s not something that my family or I am proud of so it hasn’t been spoken of in years. But, if I were to say something to him, it would be that “going to an alcohol treatment center was singly the best thing that ever happened to me…dumbass”.
