A couple of days before she posted about her situation, her mother called her and very blatantly asked, “What’s your problem?”.
Now if it were me and my parent that said this, I wouldn’t even continue the conversation.
She responds that she is fine and that she doesn’t want to talk about it, because she doesn’t want to say something she’ll regret.
So what could have been a quick talk, turned into a 20-minute conversation.
First, she expressed that her mother’s comment about her being a failure hurt. She denied she ever said it.
Then she called her daughter disrespectful, and that she had nothing to apologize for since, “she did nothing wrong”.
“I told her she started my disordered thoughts with eating leading to an ED because she’s commented on my weight and size since middle school (I’ve never been more than a size 6). She said this was normal behavior for families,” she explained.
The next thing that her mother brought up wasn’t even related to what they were talking about. Her mom asked if she should get a divorce from her father.
And finally, her mother claimed that she wasn’t even listening, and would keep cutting her off whenever she tried to speak.
She finally told her, “If this is how it’s going to be, I don’t want you at my graduation.”
“It ended with her telling me she’ll cancel everything for my graduation and keep the rest of my family & friends from coming” she continued.
