Happy Fucking Mother’s Day.

This is a metaphor for my relationship with my family, especially my mother and sister: “Aww, family time! Food and memories! .... FUCK FUCK FUCK, GOT BURNED AGAIN OH GOD WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS TO MYSELF?!”

Insert stereotypical joke about social workers/therapists hailing from dysfunctional families here.

When I'm out with a new guy and he decides to share his uninformed opinions on mental health with me, and then gets offended and defensive when I correct him.
