[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be rude, I'm really not -[b] but who gives a shit what your Dad thinks?[/b]  You are a grown woman now with a child of your own.  Are you in therapy?   There is more to the story and you need help getting past caring what your insensitive father thinks.  [/quote]

Not OP but I have an emotionally abusive father myself and things are not so black and white.

I hope you've never been a victim of emotional abuse, but if you ever were, you should know that abusers are very good at making you feel like you're 6 again and depending on their approval. It's a very hard cycle to break.

As you say, therapy may be needed, even if there isn't "more to the story". Shaming a person for his/her weight is more than enough abuse.[/quote]

+1.  People do this often have a lifetime of putting their children down under their belt. It's sick and twisted  -- especially when these individuals are so flawed themselves. But that's how they pump themselves up to feel better.

My dad wasn't at all worried about my health for being 25 pounds overweight. I've always been perfectly healthy.
