At a wedding, the mother of Speaker A's partner lunged at them and knocked them to the ground. Later at Christmas, both the mother and husband were drinking heavily. Speaker A says alcohol brings out unresolved trauma and makes people emotionally volatile.
We didn't care what nobody said. We were gonna get married. We was in love. And so me and him got into it and just outta nowhere, his mom comes outta nowhere and jumps on me to where he's like having to get her off of me and help me off the ground. That's not okay.
Mm-mm. The drinking, I heard you say on Christmas Day she was under the influence, your husband under the influence. Yes. Do you think there's a drinking problem with people?
I'm around so many people that when they drink, they get in their feelings.
Yeah.
They get chaotic. They get upset. They're not healed, so they're bringing up the past. They're bringing up old stuff. It's not cool.
Girl, you can take this seat right here, 'cause everything you just said, let me tell you something. Everything you just said is exactly what I was saying.
