After my parents found out a close friend of the family had molested me, after getting some shitty advice from the church, they told me, “Well… we’ve been friends with him for so long and since what happened between you and him is between you and him, and he didn’t do anything to us directly, we’re going to stay friends with him.”
Seeing the family trying so hard to be “normal” even while knowing what’s happening hits my fucking soul. It’s sad how real this is and how isolated it makes you feel.
Im kinda obsessed with this since it hits real close to home but… god there’s so much going on with this comic I just wanna talk about it all day in a rambly unfocused format!
starting out with the dad, I have a feeling that the reason he reacted the way he did is because he himself is dealing with self hatred (possibly from his own trauma) and like everyone else, is taking it out on others. He’s projecting his own feelings onto Clarissa and that makes him feel more powerful as thats what sexual abuse is about… power! It’s why he does what he does! It seems to go the same for everyone else! them projecting their own feelings onto Clarissa… EXCEPT the middle child who just seems to desperate to ignore the issue by constantly submitting to his abusers to keep the peace
And this is why I kept that image of the French toast piled high buried in my mind. The anticipation is so awful. There’s no way you can eat all of this, especially not when you feel this bad, it’s going to come back up again, but you have to eat all of this.
Just so awful. Well done.
JY Aw shucks. I’m just a monster with a heart of gold.
jesus dude
This is hitting too close to home
If she got away from the table her Dad would “look for his pen” and follow her to the bathroom.
Omg it’s really obvious that randy is extremely worried about his sister but to afraid to do anything about it

Thank you Envy; I wasn’t picking up on that. That wasn’t sarcasm.
