Meme: Gif of Pedro Pascal and Nicholas Cage riding in a convertible with the top down and looking at each other. Pedro’s expression looks like he just shared something humorous. His caption is, “Abuse survivors sharing funny stories about their childhood.” Nicholas’ caption is, “Everyone else,” and looks bewildered.

Oof- I used to get that reaction a lot before I learned it wasn’t actually funny, and I was just framing it comedically to cope
Like that time my dad smashed my head through a wall. Good times. 🤣
Everyone else: 😬
Damn, I just recently learned that my stories about growing up are considered trauma dumps by my partner. It makes sharing stories of getting through childhood something I can’t talk about anymore. It’s hard to talk to people when so much of what forged me was the heat of short tempers.
Oh no! I’m sorry that you’re in that position. Maybe you can find an avenue to discuss them with someone? I read (actually heard) the book The Body Keeps the Score. Even if you repress the memories or think you’ve moved on, that stuff is in there affecting everything, whether you’re aware of it or not.
Just wanna give a big ol’ +1 to The Body Keeps The Score. My partner read it and it was a game changer for her.
“Child abuse hahaha funny” 🤦♂️
And what looks like AI description as well. For fuck sake.
The caption looks fine to me, and the premise of the joke makes sense speaking as someone with a rough childhood.
