[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gave me a copy of “Sarah, Plain and Tall.”

My name is Sarah and I am very tall.[/quote]

I dont think this is cruel[/quote]

You’re dense. [/quote]

PP isn’t dense, you’re just the kind of person who goes out of their way to take offense at everything. [/quote]

Dp. The important thing to understand is that the original pp felt hurt when her mom gave her the book. We don't know how old she was or what her past treatment was, but she felt hurt. She remembers this as an adult. It is not going to hurt any less by you and others telling her she had no reason to be hurt. Feelings are weird that way.[/quote]

Thanks, this PP and other PPs who defended my feelings.  I haven't been back since I put my comment up until now.  I was 8 but still old enough to know that "plain" was insulting, especially since my mom made constant disparaging comments about my appearance.

On the other hand, it's a bit funny, too.  Like who can be THAT thoughtless?!  The book itself is very nice but still.  I didn't even read it until I was an adult because I couldn't bear to pick it up.

My mother and I have a great relationship now, but she is a narcissist and I have learned to compartmentalize her crazy and not be offended, but I was a very sensitive, shy child and it took me 40 years to grow a thick skin.

Some of these other posts are incredibly abusive and hurtful.  I am so sorry you went through them, DCUM posters.  Mine isn't anything like that scale, but more a Chinese water torture slow drip of awfulness.  She's much better now I have leverage (access to grandkids) and absolutely use it if she says anything to them that is out of line.
