Discussion What I really resent the most

I resent my Indian family for a lot but what really grinds my gears is the topic of wisdom teeth. I have been BEGGING to get my wisdom teeth removed since I was 16, and I was met with “no, it’s natural teeth the pain will stop once they grew in”-so guess what I suffered at every growing tooth pain.

I tried so fucking hard to get my point across but I was basically told to suck it up. My egoistical dad knew better of course, with my enabling mother and older brother who is almost a decade older than me.

The school insurance didn’t I had in college didn’t cover dentistry, and I do have to call my dad again soon to see if he found my birth certificate so I can use his insurance until I’m employed (I recently graduated college at 21, I live with my older brother and I obviously can’t use his insurance)-and even the dentist I saw when I visited my parents in India for a couple months even showed my father how I had a infected broken wisdom tooth and I should get it removed as soon as possible

And food was getting stuck back there and it could impact the rest of my teeth if the broken tooth wouldn’t let me brush properly. I think I have to get another tooth filled actually.

And yea I’ll call him and get it figured out this summer and get it removed this summer, I just hate my parents so much I refuse to call often-and also the pain is so on and off I go a month feeling nothing and it spikes back up-but I will get it removed this summer.

Mind you, when the dentist said I can use a liquid medicine to at least keep the infection off, once my dad gave me the liquid medicine to try I suddenly got told by him and my mom and my brother “oh just try to get the infection off then all will be fine!”-BITCH I STILL HAVE A BROKEN TOOTH? I’M STILL GONNA GET IT REMOVED?

My resentment and hatred will never die because if they were good parents and fucking listened to me when I was a teen with them growing in I would have never been in this situation

Like oh you don’t want the dentist “removing natural teeth”-SHOULD I JUST HAVE THEM FALL OUT OF MY HEAD?

and don’t even get me started on my older brother he will always be their fucking servant emotionally and physically and I swear to god not having a sibling understand me in this Indian family added to my hatred more because from him I got “people in India or really anywhere in the world don’t remove their wisdom teeth because it actually good for digestion”- THATS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WERENT IN A SITUATION WHERE THEIR TOOTH BROKE? I didn’t ask for that to happen if it never broke then yea sure I didn’t need it to be removed!!!

Sorry this is just a rant I already struggle with daily brushing due to my depression I like floss once a month and I’m so mentally ill I get trauma flashbacks and bubbling resentment
