When someone calls you the "B" word, that’s a brutal thing to be hit with, especially when you were trying to be kind and real life already had you on the ropes. Being called that name cuts deep, and when it comes from someone struggling with addiction and narcissistic behavior, it can feel both unfair and exhausting.
You didn’t cause that reaction. Addiction + narcissistic traits often turn shame into blame. When they feel cornered, they lash out at the safest target.
Name-calling is abuse, not honesty. It’s a tactic to regain control or avoid accountability.
You don’t owe someone access to you just because they’re struggling. I’m choosing myself here. Name-calling is abuse, and I do not tolerate it.
I won't mention any names here, because they are NOT worth it. I do wish them healing and sobriety in the real world.
And now back to the aliens we all love so much.
