    I have perdiontal disease so I feel this. I actually extra feel this, because I have perio because my parents never took care of me as a kid, and then in my adulthood while I spend tons of money for maintenance and have lots of pain they try to gaslight me into thinking they didn’t do anything wrong and try to guilt trip me into reestablishing contact with them. Fuck that lol.

      I’m so sorry to hear what you’re dealing with. I think the most important thing we can try to take from the pains, is to try treating others better than we were treated, despite how difficult it might be.

        I’m not exactly sure what you mean. I try to treat other people well as much as I can. Doesn’t mean I’m going to get back into contact with abusive and negletful parents that did serious long term damage and pain to me with lifetime consequences that I now have no say over.
