My own mother is my worst bully. I get a salad at a restaurant? She claims I’m going vegan for attention. I pass on dinner because I just ate at a friend’s house? I’m attempting to be anorexic. I start throwing up from food poisoning? Bulimic.
She constantly throws insults like “you need to be healthier, you look like a pregnant teenager”, “how can a boy like a girl heavier than him”, and tries covering up, saying it’s “for my own good”. She just goes on and on about my weight. If I eat too much, she comments on it- if I don’t eat enough, she comments on it. I can never get her to stop!! And what’s worse is, whenever I try and talk to her about it, she just claims I’m being dramatic and that I should really be blaming my hormones or one of my friends. She’s a psycho!!

My mother’s a psycho, too.
Not eating dinner for one night = bulimic attention whore
Mom logic.
Just stare into her eyes with a really angry/disappointed look until she shuts up.
It does sound like your being dramatic
this sounds like abuse. i say stop trying to reason with her and get healthy on your own pace. hang on for now till you can move out.
i’ve also been verbally abused as a child. just get a job and work as much as you can, sleep over at friends houses as much as you can until you’re ready to move out. by then you’ve probably earned enough money for a small apartment.
I wouldn’t say it’s that bad, I wouldn’t consider it consistent and harsh enough to be verbal abuse. My sister and I both agree she’s out of control with her “honesty” though. Thanks for the advice. 🙂
