After my mother told me "That's normal" in an accusatory tone after I told her I was raped repeatedly by a family member as a child, I thought "Wow, what the hell must have happened to her then if she thinks that that's normal". But then again, it doesn't justify anything.

LOL this is funny the pic.
Don’t understand the photo, but the saying is true. It’s always been three (mom, dad, sister) against me.

This is true and sad but the image cracks me up
