Self righteous indignation & judgment

Having been raised in a home run by someone who feels entitled to their self righteous indignation and freedom of judgement was a minimizing experience.
At any moment, for any reason, they would lean back against the sink, fold their arms and scowl.
As an adult, I’ve learned to laugh and move on. Sometimes it is about my smoking. Sometimes it is about my drinking.
They were protesting even just the pouring of a cocktail. They hold that I am an alcoholic. Period. There is nothing to discuss. It doesn’t matter how I feel about that subject.
I have never made any visits to rehab. There have never been any periods of withdrawal. I continue day-to-day with normal life and enjoy drinks with company.
Somehow I am still entitled to the self-righteous indignation and judgment of the others.
Some in my family have sworn off drinking in total. I believe, this is an overt statement publicly opposing that which I am in theory, but am not in reality.
I wonder if these poeple understand that self-righteous indignation and judgment are not blessings from above. They are self imposed and exercised as often as they decide. Meaning, their mind decides, their soul feels the shame.
I hope they understand that exercising these entitlements are clearly not invitations to heaven.
Kindness is.
I’m hoping that, when they go to church this weekend, and they will, they always do, they will pray upon these behaviors and hear gods true guidance.
Peace, Love and Harmony
We hear you,
