4.0
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Grief, Panic attacks/disorders, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Infidelity, Gaslighting, Mental illness, Bullying, Cursing, Death of parent, and Child abuse
Minor: Racism, Xenophobia, and War
The first half was triggering with the inter generational trauma and emotional abuse, while the latter third was uproariously funny. Stark contrast, but works out. A trigger warning would be helpful.
