Picture this: you’re out with your friends at a Chinese restaurant, enjoying a delicious meal together. Suddenly, one of your friends gets agitated and confronts a father and son at a nearby table. The situation escalates, and you find yourself suggesting your friend should go back to therapy. But was that the right thing to say? Let’s dive into this drama-filled dinner and see what happened.

Dinner Dilemma: Was Therapy Suggestion Out of Line?

After a seemingly innocent interaction at a Chinese restaurant, Jess, who had previously experienced a traumatic racist incident, confronts a father and son, accusing them of racism. Her friends try to console her, but when the author suggests Jess return to therapy, things take a turn for the worse. The friendship group is divided on whether the suggestion was appropriate, but the author doesn’t want to give up on her longtime friend. As they all reflect on the situation and their own abilities to handle mental health crises, Jess’s mom reaches out, sharing Jess’s regret and desire to apologize. The group decides to send love and support in the form of chocolates and self-care items.

NTA. Asian here. Culture is meant to be shared and one of the major sharing points between people of all ages and sects is food. The boy was asking questions because he was curious and probably hadn’t seen that type of food before. Rather than send the little guy to probe you guys about it the dad explained it in a calm and educational way. Honestly, that’s the best way it could have gone down. Your friend does need therapy. If a little child asking an innocent question about food is enough to set her off into making an outburst like that then she needs professional help processing what she went through.
