When you throw their insult right back at them and they act like it is the end of the world

Ndad and brother were mocking me like usual. I grabbed 2 cans of carbonated water and put the plastic ring tab on the table, I was still bent over while grabbing the drinks and didn’t stand up straight yet. Ndad immediately says “does that belong there?” to me in his weird, assertive tone. I pointed down at his tools which are always left all over the kitchen floor and in the way of foot-traffic. I ask him right back, “does that belong there?” He raised his voice and said “well, it’s my fucking house!” So I replied with “well, it’s a shithole,” and left the room. I heard him bitching about me to my brother as I walked up the stairs and away.

Now I feel guilty because I was made to feel guilty during emotional responses, even when I shouldn’t.
