I've NC, it's very identifying anyway but here goes.
It was my sister's birthday last week so on Saturday we all had a get together. I'm a recovered alcoholic. I can now drink 1 or 2 drinks and leave it be. I have no intention of ever getting 'smashed' again.
On Saturday my cousin was handing out glasses of Prosecco and handed me a flute. My sister's DH then said "What the fuck are you doing [cousin], [1drink] can't drink anything at all! You know she shit she's put [my DM] through these past few years." Cousin then apologised, looked embarrased as she had no idea and then took my flute away.
My aunt and uncle whom also had no idea then spent the rest of the evening watching me and asking what was going on. I now feel like my personal life has been put on show for all to glare mawkishly at. My sister knew about my alcoholism and I'm under no illusion that she kept it hidden from her DH but for him to show me up at like that really riles. I did send him a message saying that he was out of order and now sister thinks I was BU. I'm now wondering did they all know and I've just naively been thinking I managed this and got over it without my whole family knowing everything.
