Cherry Plum
One day at a time
How on earth do I deal with my Mother?
She was always the critical parent, she used to say 'why are you eating that' or 'who's is that?' (when she spotted something in my fridge/cupboard.)
At family parties she'd say 'don't you think you've had enough'.
When on holiday with her I resorted to eating chocolate in my room to stop the comments!
One day she even showed me a newspaper that had a story of a 40 stone women.
So as you can imagine I became the rebellious child.
Now she's telling everyone I'll lose all the weight & then I'll put it straight back on!
At the weekend she said 'how's the diet going', I told her I'd lost 2 stone, she said 'doe's it make you irritable?'
There was no 'well done' or any positive comments.
I know she loves me & probably thinks she's trying to help.
Has anyone else had to deal with this or anything like it?
