AITA for blowing up after someone pushed a hot-button issue in my own home?

You just straight-out say that to someone’s face? omg

You sound like a total MAGA

Not even all of the validation of DCUM (which you don’t have) can help you feel better about your temper tantrum.

Practice behaving like an adult instead of a child and you will find your life magically improved.

I hope you are ashamed of this taunting, childish response. It seems like you aren’t any better behaved than OP by your own standards.

I think it’s very rude to go into someone’s house and insult them. That puts you in a position where all you can do is ask them to leave—which is also rude.

It’s really hard to say if you overreacted without knowing what happened. It’s hard to imagine something non-political that would elicit such a strong response on either side.

Yes, it is one of those things.

I think if it's IVF or religion, this person is no longer your friend. Vaccines, they are insane but I'd internally roll my eyes, get my shots and let it go.

Disagree.

OP was needled and provoked and the other person would not drop it. Sometimes people need a good "punch in the face" to STFU.

This! There is nothing wrong with anger. People don’t need therapy to “handle” it. If someone pushed my buttons in my own home id get angry too.

So many people need to learn anger management. Seriously.

Why? She didn't hit, she wasn't violent. Why are you so scared of strong emotions being expressed?

She yelled and got aggressive, per her own words. Do you not consider that violent? Is it ok to scream at someone in any situation?

No, yelling isn't violence. What the hell?!

+1

Violence is the use of physical force against another purpose with the intent to harm. Yelling is not violent.

And maybe you should leave your mom's basement once in a while and get some fresh air.

I agree. If you fly off the handle like this and only blame the other person , you need to get yourself help.

This.
