[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd us over wright as well, her pediatrician, therapist, and psychiatrist, say nothing. Too afraid being that she has high anxiety and had depressive issues i. Past. I am tip toeing as much as possible around her but if she asks me for an honest opinion, I always tell her constructively my answer. Today she askd me when I just got up if she looked fat in her sweatpants and sweatshirt (oversized). I told her yes, she got all upset and yelled at me. She was nasty all day. I was too tired in the AM to be “constructive” in my remarks, and I am sick of watching what I have to say all the time. When she’s witchy, which is a lot, I can barely look at her without getting disgusted. Sad, but true.[/quote]

This thread has such a sad parade of absolutely horrible parents. [/quote]

Why aren't we making more progress on this? When I was in college, one of the women across the hall from me had a mother who was obsessed with her weight, to the extent that even back then (40ish years ago), when everyone thought thinness was the be-all, end-all, found it disturbing. Her parents came to visit and the first thing out of her mother's mouth was "Have you lost any weight?"

She graduated and moved far away. I wonder if her mother ever figured out why. [/quote]
