Andrea - I know that humor is how you've dealt with it, I can't imagine what it'd be like in your shoes. But, watching your performance, I only feel outrage. I find it odd that some people are laughing. Sure, you try to lighten things up, but I just can't laugh.

I guess that it's just my sense of justice. The only thing that I can think about is your father escaping justice & the sorrow that I feel for you. Once he apologized, did he stop his wickness? I hope so.

[AndreaAbbate]

Yes, he stopped. I think he felt good about our talk and that we had brought it out in the open.. He was a big drinker and my mom finally left him and got married 6 other times.

it makes me feel bad that i want to laugh... oh man...

[AndreaAbbate]

That's exactly what I'm going for. There's a long time between punch lines in life - so here's to laughing. IF you life in LA - I'm performing a really cool piece called My Mother's Last Suicide this thursday at BANG Theater

Your mother .... Hey I'm weak too, but I'd like to think, if i'd been your mom i'd do something different. Then again ... who knows? Still ... your mom really kinda takes the cake. Blaming you?? Complaining that it was painful for HER?? I mean, WHAT THE FUCK!?

Anyways, great vid it's funny in all it's horridness

[AndreaAbbate]

SHe always had an unusual and narcissistic take on life. THat's what I loved about her. It was all her and no one else. Very sun - like

[TimmyDearest]

All right for your ability to move on, but that is horrifying. Why is that funny? I really don't get it.

[spydee003]

I think I'm in love. Women with sick senses of humor drive me nuts!

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

This girl is down right hilarious Look shit happens in life and WE all have family secrets. Fact is humour can help people cope it is better then alcohol and drugs that is for sure.

[CleverDjembe]

I would've done anything to be given the possibility to start my sex life at a young age with the loving guidance of my mother or father. I would've gladly have sex with both of them as a child.. let's say at around age 9-10.

Too bad they didn't know I would've wanted that, and I got left out of a wonderful incest love experience. And I am serious about this, so don't call me a fake.

[SGIkid]

I seriously have a difficult time watching this. I mean I guess this a coping mechanism or whatever, but I'm a rape survivor and the idea of laughing about rape in any way is sort of impossible for me. Your mom is real fucked up though. Sorry you had to go through that. It sucks.

[karn33333]

lol this is great. I applaud this woman for being so forthcoming and coming up with a great way to deal with a series unbearable events.

[mjtajik]

this is sad, just sad!

[FightBadBehavior]

At the risk of sounding like your mother, I feel terrible.

[Lisa13245]

How is this funny?

She's kidding right?
