Once not too long ago when my father basically implied I was ugly, and then fat, I basically didn't speak in the house for 3 days. And they knew why. And pretended they didn't. It was easier to say I was acting like a moody teenager.

Yep, when what is toxic is family, it's not so easy to cut out. But at the end of the day, maybe I'm just making excuses. Thank you!

I guess you're right. I do have to think of myself here, I know that. But I also feel like my sister and I are all they have, it's why it's so hard. Thank you!

I am so jealous of my friends who have supportive moms like you! Who feel like they can be who they want to be, without disappointing anyone. Thank you so much for your words. I don't know if I'll ever have that conversation with them, but I will try to remember that their opinions are just that, their opinions.

Wow. I guess we both need to learn to not take those opinions in. It really does suck to grow up surrounded by that. In my case, it wasn't such a big topic of discussion, until I stopped being underweight. I know exactly what you're talking about. I see my family every weekend and I also dread it. Here at college no one…

Because it's still family, and I know they love me despite everything

I'm in university, but I come home every weekend. It's worse on the holidays. But even if I move out, I'll still see them every week. I do plan on moving out as soon as I start working.

I guess I do feel like I have to live up to what they expect of me, but at the end of the day I have to find a way to be more confident. Thank you!
