I agreed to go out for dinner with my parents and daughter. It is my first night home in 4 days and was planning on cooking for once! We ate at a bar and grill so options were limited. Had a grilled chix salad which didn't seem "light" at all.
Anyway! At the end of dinner my mom was asking me questions about my husband. Long story. Anyway. All of a sudden she got up and left. Leaving my dad and me and my daughter inside. She was mad at me. So she went and sat in the car. No warning. Just up and left. Now that I'm a bit older I can see her guilt trip/manipulative moves and brush them off, but at the end of the day, I'm MAD! I see her attempt at making me feel like crap. And I'm probably guilty of not saying "I don't want to talk about my husband". My mom and I have a terrible relationship due to a very unpleasant childhood. I figured out this year that the minute I walk into her house I'm "hungry". I eat to pacify my anxiety with her. But its no doubt my food issues started with her. At a young age.
I don't feel like eating after her little episode but now I do feel that tinge of guilt. Which is what she was hoping for.
Done with rant. Anyone else have food issues related to their parents??
