Maybe confer with your brother behind the scenes?
This was our conversation yesterday:
Me: How long is their little mini-vacation? A week? And aren't tickets to India even more expensive now?
Me: They're like $2500.
Me: For that, I could...not fight with my parents for a week.
Him: yeah its ridiculous
For that, I could...not fight with my parents for a week.
If you are trapped in India for week you will fight. You have done great standing strong so far. If you put yourself in a position where you have a solid week where it is tough to get away from your parents you will end up traumatized at the least. Given that it is a culture they know a lot better than you and have a lot more connections than you, I don't know how strong the pressure would get or whether it would cross the line to coercion. But even if all it does is leave you sobbing at night for a year, I'd would say it is worth avoiding.
I told myself I wouldn't weigh in on this any further, but "Hell, no," to India.
It's just insanity.
Culturally prescribed insanity is still insanity.
I'm a woman; I know.
They will be unhappy, but I suspect, as with my father, they cannot be otherwise.

erika FTW.
Hey hivemind, if I had one glass of wine 2.5 hrs ago and Zoloft this morning, how bad is it to take acetominophan? I has headache. Would Naproxen be better? I think I have some of that, but I have no ibuprofen.
I'd do it. That's not an excessive amount of alcohol or anything. I think Naproxen has no alcohol warnings and Tylenol has whoooooa, not too much alcohol ones so after one glass, I'd personally risk the Tylenol. But I could be wrong.
...
Better to wait for La Tep.
I am more "what can I take after x amount of Benedryl or Advil or Sudafed" girl.
I think you're fine taking Tylenol after 2 1/2 hours. Assuming you aren't washing it down with a shot of tequila.
I found ibuprofen... albeit six months expired. Decisions, decisions.
Also I'd totally take six months expired ibu.
