My mom suffered more than Jesus

A major theme in my childhood is how my mother has suffered at the hands of my father. In fact, my mother has always maintained that we had to erect a huge cross on her grave to represent said suffering.

Recently, while my mom was in one of her rants, I tried to appeal to her faith and told her to think about Jesus and his passion, try to take comfort, etc.

Her response: "Jesus was only on the cross for three hours, I suffered for 38 years."
