I hate my parents and my parents hate me. They did not want me to be there neither did I because being around any people suffocates me. My brother wouldn’t budge from trying to get me there, he’s the only person that cares for me in this world and I couldn’t say no to him.
My mom’s a sucker for money and she wasn’t happy with the gift that the bride’s side had bought for her. This is an Indian tradition where families exchange gifts with each other and was on the verge of throwing a visible tantrum to make them realise that she needed something fancier. My brother put some sense into her and she had to drop her plan. Music is generally loud here in such parties and I think I overestimated its loudness while saying “money grubbing whore” These were exactly the words I used and I could have said that inside my head but I didn’t because you negligently make some horrible decisions in life to later regret them forever. Somebody overheard me and somehow word got out that I called my mom a “Randi” which is hindi for a whore. You don’t use that word here if you come from a good family or if you want to pretend that you come from one and certainly not when family’s around and you definitely do not call your mom that.
Some relatives tried to have a word with me but I was taken to another room by my brother my parents were already inside and my mom was sobbing. This time I knew she wasn’t faking it. My parents didn’t say a word to me My brother asked me to apologise. I did but I don’t know why I felt the need to clarify that I didn’t use the word Randi exactly. After this my brother asked me to leave early. This happened four days ago and I haven’t found the courage to call my brother and neither has he called me. He did not deserve all this unnecessary drama on his day and all this could have been prevented if I had been a little more responsible. I also fear for the gf getting married into our family.
Tl; dr I called my mom a money grubbing whore somebody translated that to mean a literal whore and I was asked to leave early from his engagement party after I ruined the night for my brother and his would be wife.
