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]

I don't think that the PP was talking about the woman with the abusive mother.[/quote]

No, I wasn't.  I was talking about all of the other hyperventilating women on here calling people "weak" for daring to show their children that they are humans with emotions.  If PP's response is any indication, methinks they doth protest too much.  Maybe they are so focused on controlling their emotions because at the core they are big flaming drama queens.[/quote]
