what happened to..."you're an adult"

granted i'm not financially independent, which i pretty much have strived for because i'm sick of feeling bad for disrespecting someone for things i'm actually allowed to do.

first of all, there was no vodka. 

second of all, didn't even know he drank.

third of all and most important, i am completely insulted that you think that image could be burned out of my head for one second. 

sure, i was only five years old but i remember crying and screaming for it to stop. why would i want that to happen to anyone else? i'm home for barely 24 hours.  i want to spend time with people. god forbid i have a few drinks. 

bottom line. don't tell me what to do. sure, give me advice. but don't ever tell me what to do.
