[...] November Dealing with a parent’s middle life crisis. Ugh. But RPattz learned of my existence and we are now registered at Pottery Barn. And I stopped biting my nails. Go me! [...]

I’m just now catching up from my wedding and honeymoon vacation, but I just wanted to say don’t be so hard on yourself! We love you, and we don’t like it when you’re so full of self-loathing! Chin up, lovey. Things will turn around soon. As for your mother? She sounds like an abolute nightmare!

Oh my. GOD.

It sounds like you are talking about my own mother. Seriously. Right down to when she sprang the divorce on my own father. Actually…that was right BEFORE Christmas in our story (7 years ago now!). Then there was the weight loss and wearing clothes that were “younger” than what I would dare wearing. Seriously. At least she never got down to my size so I didn’t have to get asked about my size. UGH.

We should chat more!

Jamie, you look fabulous the way you are! My mom’s the same way with me about losing weight. It’s painful to hear her say she is fat when she really isn’t.

I know you were ranty, and angry, and serious – but you had some GEM moments of funny in this. True story.

[...] Yesterday’s post had been brewing for a very long time. It was definitely time to get it out regardless of who reads it. Maybe some felt it was out of line or mean but this is my place to write and I refuse to censor myself. And sometimes you just need to vent. Thank you to those who commented, I appreciate it more than you know. [...]

jamie, this post really struck a chord in me. my relationship with my mother is rocky at best. i know a lot of kids have their parents divorce when they're little, but being an adult when your parents split is also difficult. i'm with you on so many levels. ♥ kaileenelise

I’m so sorry, weight is such a hard issue. I have dealt with it my entire life and there is nothing worse than unsolicited advice. Hang in there beautiful! Remember we are our worst critics…
