If you think, “it could have been worse,” please remember that you didn’t deserve to be hurt at all. You didn’t deserve to be abused, even if it “could have been worse.”
Being overwheight is not a health issue. Not at all. Being overwheight is not being sick. Your mom is completely wrong and fatphobic. You’re not being oversensitive, she was actually acting like being overweight is an insult or something bad, which is not.
Whether you’re overweight or not, what you’re mom is doing is wrong. She is not telling anything that is worth caring for. You’re so beautiful the way you are and she has not the right to say something like this to you or to anybody, my dear, no one should be called overwheight as in insult. The world is not the way she thinks it is, and she will have to learn or stay in ignorance forever, and this is not on you, okay? Never.
I pity her daughter for the misfortune of being born to this piece of absolute shit.
okay but you should really read the full response to this though:
I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this letter. I encourage you to reread it and to ask yourself that time-honored question, “Do I sound like a villain in a Reese Witherspoon movie?” You are, presumably, sympathetic to your own situation and are invested in making sure that you come across as reasonable and as caring as possible, and yet you have written a letter indicting yourself at every turn. This girl is “like a daughter” to you, and yet you want to shove her to the side of your other daughter’s wedding just because she walks with a limp. Your daughter’s wedding will be perfect with Katie as a full and honored member of the bridal party. A limp is not a fly in the ointment; it’s a part of Katie’s life. It is not only wrong to have asked your daughter to consider excluding her best friend over this—it is ableist, and cruel, and it speaks to a massive failure of empathy, compassion, and grace on your part. You must and should apologize to your daughter immediately, and I encourage you to profoundly reconsider the orientation of your heart.
random thing but i realized it might be helpful for some people so uh. theres this thingy where you can upload an image and it gives you a color palette based on it !
