PP here.  My mother would always make it about her -- not that what I was doing or had said was right or wrong but what her emotional reaction to it was.  She told me that she cried when I wanted to stay with my grandmother and not her when I was two.  She constantly told me that I embarrassed her or hurt her.

Thank you for your supportive comments.  However my issues with food will never be normal although I am very grateful to be alive.  [/quote]

Just to be clear: What a lot of us are using here as examples are nowhere near the kind of emotional abuse your mother committed.

I'm sorry for what you experienced.[/quote]

Exactly.  People are blowing this approach out of context with their [b]hypersensitive psychobabble[/b].[/quote]

Wow.  Just wow.  Someone opens up about her near fatal eating disorder and emotional abuse by her mother and you call it "hypersensitive psychobabble"?  You are a terrible human being.  and FWIW I think that telling a kid that she hurt your feelings when she insults you is perfectly fine.[/quote]
