[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. I can relate. Why is it that even as grown women with kids of our own we still look to our moms for validation? Tale as old as time, I know. My mom is mostly lovely, but she has a mean streak and super disordered eating. She's visiting soon and I already told my (skinny) sister that mom's gonna kill me when she sees me. I've gained quite a bit of weight recently, some peri-menopause, some depression, blah blah blah. I love my mom, but I am constantly training myself to recognize that I cannot change her dysfunction, I can only control my response to her comments. It's a daily exercise, but at the end of each day I get a tiny bit closer to choosing to make my own happiness rather than waiting for my mom to tell me I deserve to be happy with myself. I am so sorry you are hurting. Words cut deep, especially from mom. Hugs to you.[/quote]
