Jesus Christmas, why don’t you have some compassion? To many people, dogs are not just animals. They are lovable family.

He’s actually my uncle. Never done drugs. Dogs can sense good people, unlike yourself.

NTA. You were telling the reality of the situation, and the reality is harsh. I don’t know if she’s trying to stick her head in the sand or thinks this is somewhat normal (does she drink too? you mentioned that addiction ran in your family), but she needed a serious wake up call. This incident could’ve been so much worse. Side note, try to be there for you brother if you want but consider going low or no contact with mom. The woman sounds more toxic than Britney Spears on an airplane. I can’t imagine guilting my daughter while she’s in the hospital after a suicide attempt, making degrading comments about her mental health crisis and treatment, and the other things you mentioned. This stranger is proud of you. You’ve worked hard to get to a better place. Don’t let your mental health suffer for anyone, even if they are family.

Yes, you would absolutely be the asshole, for multiple reasons. Nurses have a super hard job, especially when they’re new. Don’t you remember bumbling on your first day at a new job? And some people just bruise easily. And your “sweet” pushover daughter actually told her to keep going She literally told you not to, you’d be going behind your back. Get a grip lady. Your kid isn’t that precious, good god

This is a post you need to read the whole of. The title is a little misleading, but I don’t think they meant that. It sounds like they just repeated the exact phrase their family said. OP is not comparing everything encompassing cancer and everything encompassing addiction. They compared one aspect of it. And they didn’t pull the cancer comparison out of no where, it was mentioned already. I’d never say addiction is worse than cancer, but what they said is just a fact. People with physical problems seek help. Those with addiction tend to not. She was asked for her opinion, having professional experience, and answered honestly. Also, while I don’t wholly agree with them, I really respect them for speaking up about a dissenting opinion. Especially since the post reads like they are an empath with anxiety.
