whoa, no way. no wonder you're miserable.

i am sorry she said this to you, it was uncalled for. maybe she is just unhappy with herself.

ouch, what a horrible thing your mother said. I don't get to actually talk to anyone, I just type, so if I don't like it, I can either fight my corner or ignore it. Being depressed, stressed and agoraphobic certainly has it's advantages.

We live in a world where nasty comments have become the norm im afraid. If people will laugh, then someone will always be belittled somewhere out there.
What she said to you was at worst spiteful and at best, thoughtless. Take no notice... the only hell is here on earth so you have no nasty surprises anyway ;) lol

big ouch. Is she always like this? My mum has said some things to me in the past but i let her know how it made me feel and she told me she was sorry she didnt mean it and took things out on me (she also suffers from depression!). xx

my mum is great, she is very snappy tho and doesnt think of how she hurts me. She sufferes also after suffereing from sexual abuse from her father. It all came out when he started with me. So I can see why she is so angry and says cruel things. I dont hate her I just wish she would think before she speaks

Gosh, what an awful thing to say to someone!! Sorry that happened to you. I've had people say mean things to me. Not easy to deal with, especially if they are important to you. I'd say "OUCH, THAT HURT." Sometimes people will realize they hurt you, and apologise. If they don't, I start thinking of excluding them from my life.

I don't think your mom was right in her thought, matter of fact it was cruel. Perhaps your experience just makes you more aware of the rights of life, no matter what kind of life.

Your mother was totally out of order saying that to you. Some ppl don't think or perhaps they're insensitive. My sister who has cancer was told by our elderly aunt that the next time they meet, my sister would be bald! I felt so hurt for my sister. Can't understand ppl like that.

Some people say the most inappropriate things. If and when it happens again, I would react in a calm way by saying that the comment was uncalled for and how you feel about it. Then leave it at that.

hugz to ya.

my family dont react to me saying it was insensitive or out of order. They are a really take the piss kind of family. And they will never admit they are wrong. I dont really fit in with them coz I am really sensitive and quiet. x

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
