[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I go through this with my mother, and she posts on another website that my marriage is "headed for disaster" -- not because I'm overweight, but because I have a special needs child.  She worries obsessively that I'm going to divorce and constantly quotes statistics about marriages with special needs children 80% of the time ending in divorce.  (All the while claiming to adore my child, of course.)

I'm not sure what mothers like this want from their daughters, except for an outlet for their obsessive anxiety.  They seem almost disappointed that the daughters' marriages are not in ruins so that they can be the focus of their daughters' lives.[/quote]

Yep, my mom was like this too. Surprising thing was..all the marriages she thought were solid were headed for divorce, and my dh and I are just fine.

If the op wants to talk to her dad about weight gain she should, but it is ultimately none of her business and is totally her daughter's concern. I do know comments and talks my mom gave me about my weight only made me more stressed and prone to eat junk to relieve the stress. My dr and I finally figured out the medical reason for my weight gain, and in addition, i have various food allergies and intolerances.

So if you are really concerned for your daughter, recommend she go see an integrative physician and be thoroughly checked out.[/quote]
