[quote=Anonymous]OP, so sorry you had to go through that! Of course you are hungry when you are breastfeeding! I'm sorry you have such an abusive mother. Calling you names and actually snatching food from you is intolerable and inexcusable.

I would gather your DH for support, and tell her to her face why you are leaving. Yes, I'd move to a hotel down the street, and still interact with the relatives you get along with. Your mom needs to know she can't continue her abusive behavior and get away with it.

But don't make a huge scene. Just explain politely and leave quietly. Let your mom be the bad guy (she is!), and you take the high road by staying calm. Don't yell at her, just explain and leave. Your actions tell the story.

When you are breastfeeding, you should never cut calories. Eat when you are hungry. You could try eating healthier food (frozen waffles are full of sugar, white flour and are highly processed), but if that's what your mom bought for y'all to eat, well, that's what you had.

Best wishes to you, OP. It's such a tough situation, but don't stand for that type of abuse. Distance is your ally when dealing with an abuser like your mom. [/quote]
