Thanks for reading this.
My mother really does not love me and says some horrendous things to me. For example, she says I am fat (I am now) but she said it even when I was 9 stone and 10 stone! And she says my boyfriend is a loser (she doesn't even know him) but she says I am too fat to get anyone better so she says I am only with him because I am fat. This is not true, I am with him because I love him and he is with me because he loves me even though she says he is only with me because he can't get anyone better. I remember when my second boyfriend cheated on me and I told her about it, I thought she would be sympathetic (that's why I told her) but all she could say was 'you utter prostitute, only slags get cheated on'. She had never even met him and I was a virgin before I met him so I was not a slag. Everything she says is full of vitriol. I said to her 'if I'm that bad then why do so many people like me?' and she said they don't, they just feel sorry for me and I am easy to take advantage of so that's why people want to know me. She is always saying she has given up on me but I have no idea what she wants of me. I am educated to a postgraduate level and I was a cheerleader until recently. Surely that's good? I don't know why she makes up all these things about me. She also says I need to lose at least four stone as I am clinically obese but in fact I am at the low end of the overweight range!
Sorry for the rant but I would like to know if it is normal for mothers to say these things?
