Has your mom ever put you down & degraded you?

Question

The other day my mom called me and yeleld at me and told me i could never be a model and that agencies don't want boys that don't eat. It made me cry for the longest time and it hrut really bad because I've been struggling with self body image, eating disorder, and looks since middle school and to hear that coming from her made it hurt more than it would coming from a stranger. =[

Answer 1

she sounds like shes worried about you

and wants you too look after yourself

its not good 2 starve yourself

people will find you better looking with weight

babes dont stop eating to fit in

its making you stand out in a bad way

your mum loves you

she just sounds upset and destressed about the way your treating your body

sit down and talk to her

Answer 2

my parents do that all the time. i'll come home with highest honors and my dad will be like "you didn't earn those grades, they give them to you anymore." i wouldn't mind him saying stuff like that if it was true, but it's not!

i think everyone's parents have done it at one point or another.

Answer 3

She's just worried about your eating disorder.

Answer 4

Don't let your mother hold  you back. I've been through really bad things. My dad is really awful. I was at Manhattan Modeling Search in Chicago, IL, my Dad said that I would never make it. He said that I am just an ugly little girl. That really did hurt my feelings. I just  listen to Christina Aguilara music "I am Beautiful". I Love that song. Maybe your mother is just trying to get you to eat.

Trust me, I've struggled with body image to.

Answer 5

yeah my mom has..

cuz of her stressful job too.

but don't really take that to heart, i wanna be an actress and i have a lot of things trying to stop me but i'm not gonna let it.

and you look so fierce i don't know why you have low self esteem! i guess it's true the real beautiful people are like that.

Answer 6

if you cant take some constructive criticism from your mom then you will not survive in the real world..you had better grow up real fast

Answer 7

Well if you arean't living with her it sounds like u were trying to get away from her. Don't listen to her. Follow YOUR dream and don't let anyone stop you short of it. If she feels that way, then great. But you don't need to have her make YOU feel that way. Live YOUR life the way YOU wanna live it and go for your dream.

Answer 8

Don't let her get you down.

My mom used to say all sorts of terrible things to me, and now I have no relationship with her at all.

Pursue your dream!  Work towards your goals.  Get your education while you work towards it though.

Maybe talk to a counselor at school.  You need to work through some of your issues, so you can accomplish your goals! ~
