AITA for yelling at my sister in law?
Haunted by a past he fought fiercely to escape, he carries the weight of addiction not just in memories, but in the doubt cast upon him by those closest to him.
His journey from a 15-year-old lost in h***in’s grip to a 26-year-old sober man is a testament to resilience, yet the shadow of his former self lingers relentlessly in the eyes of his brother’s wife, who refuses to believe in his hard-won recovery.
Despite nearly six years of unwavering sobriety, her distrust manifests in public accusations and whispered sus**cions, turning moments of vulnerability into battlegrounds of judgment.
His strength is met with sus**cion, his healing overshadowed by fear, as the scars of addiction ripple through family ties, threatening to unravel the fragile peace he’s fought so hard to achieve.

The original poster (OP) is struggling because, despite achieving nearly six years of sobriety from h***in, his sister-in-law consistently distrusts him, leading to public accusations and creating intense family tension.
The OP feels his long-term commitment to staying clean is being undermined by her refusal to accept his recovery, culminating in an explosive confrontation after she falsely accused him of relapsing during a phone outage.
Is the OP justified in reacting angrily to his sister-in-law's continuous, damaging lack of faith in his sustained recovery, or is he being ungrateful for what might be interpreted as persistent, albeit poorly executed, concern for his well-being? Where should the line be drawn between necessary family support and harmful, persistent accusation?
