Story 855

Though my mother actively denied or sabotaged any attempt I made to get therapy during my teenage years, when I was around 15 she said to me, "I think you're depressed because you don't have a boyfriend and you don't have a boyfriend because you're fat." That was her only acknowledgement of my struggle with depression, but only the tip of the iceberg re: her commentary on my weight.
