3.0
Graphic: Abortion, Addiction, Alcohol, Animal cruelty, Chronic illness, Mental illness, Sexual content, Suicide, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Vomit, Alcoholism, Animal death, Eating disorder, Grief, Toxic friendship, Body shaming, Cancer, Death of parent, Drug abuse, and Drug use
Moderate: Body shaming, Abortion, Excrement, Infidelity, and Pregnancy
Minor: Classism and Incest
Additional trigger/content warnings: 9/11 attacks and a sexual encounter that I consider to be very non-consensual (but that is not conveyed as such by the narrator, who experiences it). The incest is mentioned in passing about off-screen characters.
