    It’s one of my favorites too but I found out the reality behind it and it’s way darker and more depressing than I realized

        There’s some info here but not all the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_yelling_at_a_cat

        Basically the woman in the meme was in a season of Real Housewives. She was yelling at someone who was gossiping about her husband being a violent abusive prick. The woman was trying to hide his abuse because she was scared her husband might kill her or their kids if the abuse became public. So she’s basically in full flight or fight mode and terrified for her life in the meme picture because this other asshole is outing the abuse in front of everyone.

        Her POS husband ended up committing suicide so at least she’s safe now though. But it hit me pretty hard to find all of this out because I went through a similar situation with my mom when I was a kid.

          Maybe i missed something in the link, but I meant what the poster above means by calling the source depressing.
