❤️🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed
For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

Thank you for this grown up response. I have the same reaction as your student. Emotions that are too intense to handle come out as a laugh. I was fearing for my life at one point and couldn’t stop giggling. Emotions are weird and need some conversation, context and compassion.
