[quote=Anonymous]Would assume this was my mother too, but they don't have a beach house. :)

I never knew this type of behavior was abusive until I went to therapy. Feel you OP; just went to my parents to help them, because they are elderly and infirm. Had the guts @ age 47 to "talk back" to Mom when she told me how awful and fat I look, AND then she told me I look disgusting. Good times.

I would just not go back to their beach house with your mom--if everything you eat is watched, it's not a vacation. Usually my Mom will not say things in front of others, only when I am by myself. So the other advice to always be around others if you don't want Mom to be abusive works for me.

On the plus side, my Mom always wants people to tell her my thinner brother looks like her. When she asked this of a new neighbor, they responded that I looked like her and they had no idea my brother was her son. Ha. Of course, she lashed out a me later, but it was worth it to see the look on her face.

Know our friends and relatives wonder why we only visit when we absolutely have to.  [/quote]
