"Gallows humour" does not ever apply to child molestation. Now you know.

Yeah, I mean, Jesus. That woman is brave. When I think about people who harmed me all I want to do is run the other direction and forget they ever existed. To stand up to her rapist like that shows real grit.

This is seriously one of the bravest things I've ever seen.

Jamie, you are my hero.

I think something like this should be a federal decision, not a state one. That way, everyone is treated fairly across the country.

Sexual abuse of a child should have no statute of limitations, just as murder doesn't. I realize that this is a state-by-state issue, but it should be addressed.

It really is one of the better regular features, and consistently well done advice. And I'm the type of person who loves to hate read advice columns for the nonsense they usually put out.

To be fair, she may not have been visiting her. If they both come from the same hometown, they may both come back for holidays and end up seeing each other then. But I do agree at the LW is totally spineless.

Sara, this column is 100% pure awesome.

I'm sincerely sorry for this, but I don't quite understand either this or a few other of your comments.

Most of my friends are thin, and NONE of them have suffered anything close to the abuse fat people get. Getting complimented on how great you look is not a problem like being systematically discriminated against.

As a "truly big" woman myself, we're all aware that all the thin women are on a whole other plane of existence, but thanks.

How is being allowed to eat cookies without people telling you you are worthless a problem?

Yeah, I'm not in the mood to hear about how hard skinny girls have it. That seems to be a new trend and I just cannot take it seriously.

It's awkward because what are you supposed to say? The dieters want you to compliment them on how "great" they look, while the only truly big woman stands right there. It's awkward as hell. You also can't tell the dieters (even if it's true), "I thought you looked just fine before!" because they say, "Oh please! How…

> Doesn't like a person

No. Instead, they moan on and on about how it must be the first cookie you've had in years.

What's up with the BFF in the first letter? After ten years of seeing each other twice a year, she still calls the LW her BFF? Either this is a desperately lonely person with very few friends, or someone is lying. Or both, the LW sounds like an asshole

If you're a size 4, how is that awkward at all? It's not like anyone's going to snatch the plate of cookies from you.

The first LW is fucking nuts. I understand not being able to break up a relationship easily, but ten fucking years? What the hell? Just tell them and move on, sheesh.

I have a "best friend" who will routinely ignore me for a month, and always claim he could never respond because "I'm working, dumbass". As if he works 24/7, which he doesn't, and physically can't text or call even after or before work.

What the hell was the first LW even doing? I can understand not bothering to friend breakup with someone who lives far away and just letting things taper off, but why would you bother visiting someone who you don't even like twice a year? I hope the LW's poor friend didn't relocate in part to be closer to her supposed…
