I was just around a negative family member my Mom who is very difficult narcissistic type and she is complaining how she loves Dad and how he is so mean to her and I don't do enough for her, cook for them,etc. Always me,me, me. She has always been very hard to deal with, needless to say a very strained relationship but I try to help them some. If I was around a lot I would be in a strait jacket!

No, I wont eat over this like I usually do. I am on my wait to a potluck but it is at the gym so hubby and I can swim also, might help the calories. I did have an abusive childhood and parents are no better, even worse now they are elderly. They were the type never around and want you to wait on them hand and foot. You know the type.

I use to think I was not worth taking care of when I was critized but now I know it is them not me so I plan on taking care of myself, now going for that swim instead of staying around the food all night and being around people who appreciate me. Thanks for letting me vent and for tthis emotional eating site.
