The retainer and the case (Parenting)
    #28429963 - 08/11/23 03:59 PM (5 months, 14 days ago)

Long ago. The world was healthier and I wore a young man’s clothes. I had seen a dentist. It took years. But my teeth were finally flawless. This was paid for entirely by my grandfather the retired doctor. So keep in mind. The only thing that was being paid for by my parents that I lived with in that house. Was the cost of travel. To have my face permanently improved. I was also a huge pothead. Part of being a huge pothead is loving to talk to potheads. Which is very difficult with a retainer. I used to bring a paper bag to lunch. I had pothead parents. I still can’t eat salami to this day. Because one time I said I liked it. Then I had to eat that sandwich or barter for a different one for the rest of the year. I don’t know where they were buying salami… but I asked them to stop like three times. You would think having pothead parents would be awesome. Because you’re wrong. Anyways, I would take out my retainer, set it in the bag. Have a wonderful conversation at the end of the lunch. I would take them back out of the bag. Nothing has settled on it from above. Nothing had gotten on it from below. The bag could be thrown in the garbage having served its purpose twice. Carrying my food and protecting my retainer. I did not use a case. Some thing that if suggested I would’ve readily agreed was the better idea. Something that should have been included, just saying. I was a dumb pothead. One day, I was, particularly faded. When I forgot. Baled the bag up and threw it in the trash. Now I had just for a couple months. Had my flawless smile. Until then I did the been muted smile. A smirk showing no teeth. Not a true Duchenne. I told them of my father and step mother. My parents were beyond furious. They immediately attached a price tag. $340. “ I refuse” that’s what my dad initially said to me. “Your teeth will look fucked up for the rest of your life because you’re a bad dude that didn’t take care of your things.” I think I am old enough now to understand the value of what they were trying to teach me. He has the grace of a dyslexic man at a spelling bee. Very blunt man. Eventually, they did get another retainer for me. “ the last one.” Or the second one. If you’re a good parent
Now, this time I felt like I was defending my future. I wanted to have a beautiful smile and I hadn’t up to this point in my life. I protected this thing. I kept it in my pocket. Why didn’t they get me a retainer case?!

I was still a lad I wanted to have fun with the other lads and lasses. At some point, I took a tumble while doing some airsoft. It cracked didn’t explode wasn’t thrown into a garbage can. It was being protected the entire time, and it broke because it’s fragile and didn’t come with the case. That’s the time. “Well I guess your teeth are just gonna be fucked up for the rest of your life then. No get out. He then turned his bong completely dismissed of everything I had to say. That night, when I dreamed. I went into my backyard to see it lined. As if someone was going to plant rose, ready to be cultivated with seed. Plowed earth. At least seven rows. It wasn’t a very big backyard. There is only maybe 2 inches between each berm. My father came outside and said “your retainer is in there and you need to respect your things more. If you don’t find it tonight, I’m going to burn it.“ He then went inside completely dismissed of everything that I was experiencing. I’ve never had a longer dream. Or a dream I was more aware of. I spent the entire night digging in that backyard. I never did find it. The next night this one hurts so much more. I went into my room. Decided to open the little doors underneath my TV stand for the first time in years. My retainer sat right there. Resting on the altar of my ignorance. This felt so real that I am mediately. Checked the next morning. To find. nothing. That would be the last nightmare about it. I would still think about it for the next 20 years. I would also have to be subjected to a diamond file, some thing that I would describe as possibly the most friction you can possibly experience. As he “created space” to shove rings in place, the rings that would allow me to even benefit from dental because my teeth were so tight. They are still tight if I don’t wear my retainer too long. So when I looked at the dust of my teeth on my chest. I vowed I would always keep it in a case when they weren’t used. Never again. I say this with my retainers sitting on my chest as I’m about to put them back into my mouth. Somethings never change. It sounds like I got punched in the face by Muhammad Ali when I’m wearing these. But the discomfort of having them touch my body. It’s so visceral. There is physically, no way I would forget they are here right now. When they are in my mouth, I will immediately put them into the retainer box. If it’s not nearby, I will leave and go get it. I didn’t learn from his lesson. Because it was trash the same way he treated me. I learned from my lesson. I hope someone else can to.

This is why I felt like I needed to write it. Anyone can read this who has owned a retainer. Then they will feel that same pressure that I did when I had it in my pocket.
Thank you for your comment

You don't have to be the best parent, you just have to be a parent. If you're just a regular parent, you're already better than most.

Yes, I would agree. They weren’t being parents. They were just being potheads.
