Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I haven't seen or spoken to my mom for the better part of a year mainly because I could not handle her constant put-downs and comments regarding my weight and eating habits. I gained A LOT of weight in the past few years after an assault my freshman year of college and subsequent deep depression that I haven't completely gotten over yet. I was raised by a single mom who worked long hours to support me and my siblings and who always loved and supported me. She still does, but the last time I was home for an extended period of time after a fifty pound weight gain following hospital stay and a bunch of med changes, my confidence and sense of self-worth was completely destroyed by her fixation on my body. She told me I no one would ever hire me looking the way I do, any guy would be embarrassed to be seen with me, and that I'm destroying my life. She would print out info about new diets and hand them out to me while I was eating dinner to make me feel bad. One day I just snapped and told her I had enough. We got into a huge fight and I have barely spoken since. Lately I've been getting a lot of pressure from other family members to reconcile. The thing is I still don't want to see her. After losing 15 lbs, I'm back at my highest weight ever and I don't feel like I can face her because of what she'll say. When I tried to get her to back off, she would for a few days but then come back with a vengeance because "it's her job as a mother," and "she's only saying what everyone else is thinking." People keep reminding me of all the sacrifices she has made for me and that she is a good mother besides this issue, but I just can't separate that from the bullying.
