Self esteem

My mom asked to talk to me about "something serious" the other day. She always makes little comments about my acne and about how much she hates my body. She said that she was concerned about me continuing to gain weight (which I'm not) and said that my face "has never looked like this before." She said "this isn't normal, you have a problem." She then began listing off extreme medical issues that she thought was wrong with me. I told her I was glad that she hated the way I was so much that she thought I had a serious medical issue. She was like your face looks terrible your acne is like cystic and really bad. Thank you for the observation mom because I haven't noticed and am obviously doing nothing to try to treat my acne??? She then started screaming at me and saying "tell me you aren't struggling, tell me you hate yourself." I can't even stand to look at her right now and she kind of ruined my self esteem. If my own mother thinks I'm disgusting how can I love myself? She's ruining my life one day at a time.

Well... Sorry to hear, and im sorry to tell, but that sounds like a terrible mom. Don't listen to her.

It's hard not to listen to her. If that's what she really thinks of me then it makes me think that's how everyone else feels. I don't even want to see my old friends anymore because I'm afraid that they will judge me like she does.
