We all had these mean relatives, didn’t we?
When is saw this from ScaryMommy, it struck a nerve with me and I knew it would hit a nerve with lots of people in my Curvy Girl community. The link is below. I am going to warn you, it is somewhat heart-wrenching. Beware before you jump over to the link”

If you ever wonder how so many people have experienced so much trauma, read this thread. DAMN. Who knew so many of us had such shitty relatives. I had a few myself.
Some of the things said to me when I was a little kid, I can still hear them in my self-talk on occasion. And, I know better to let me inner mean girl get the best of me! Some days those voices are still very loud. Fortunately, for me, I know how to quiet her voice down as soon as I hear her. But, that is thanks to a lot of love, therapy, and practice.
I am going to link to our MEAN TWEETS video here. It is amazing what total strangers have to say about our fat bodies. It’s even more harmful when we hear it from our family members.
Thank you to Scary Mommy for this post. It created a very valuable and healing discussion on our page.
