New controversial Ad in Ireland about consent

As a kid I was forced to kiss a deceased Aunt in her coffin at the funeral.

I have refused to attend any open coffin funerals since or attended only after the coffin was sealed.

Actual life long trauma right there.

Edit: thanks for all the kind words internet strangers.

PS Consent and boundaries should absolutely be a thing within a family and no one let alone kids should be forced into uncomfortable situations without asking them first.

My grandfather used to kiss me on the neck and I hated it, And told my mom it made me uncomfortable. She told me he is my grandfather and to basically just deal with it.
Later found out my grandfather was a pedo and my mother knew the whole time

omg the same thing happened to me. And then when he passed, she was surprised that I didn't want to go to the funeral
