Note.

My grandmother really wanted a boy child.

So she had 4 girls and then Dudley’s father was born.

In kerala boys are given more importance.

It’s a patriarchal society.

So my grandparents, my mom and her sisters pamper Dudley’s father a lot.

He had a heart disease growing up and had to go through an operation.

So they pamper him even more and put him on a pedestal.


When mom and I were fighting.

Mom brought up his operation and said he had to go through that.

Don’t say anything bad about him.

But why is mom not seeing that I had to go through so much more shit than him.

100 times more shit than him.


Why is she not seeing my pain and empathizing with me?

Because I don’t play the victim card?
