04/09 Fat Abusers

Quote From: jemert69

The stories about spouses tore me up. I am a 38 year old woman who was a chubby child and the brunt of much family torture growing up. When I was in middle school they (uncles,brothers,cousins and such) called me chub minnow. As a teenager they named a cow after me. I always heard from my dad--why cant you be more like such and such. I have never lived up to what he wanted me to be and as a result you would have to look far and wide to find a more difunctional person than me. I have ocd and I feel like I am lacking as aperson because of all the old garbage I carry. I obsessively clean my house as my way of protecting my girls from lifes ugliness. I am also overprotective and will attack anyone I feel is disrespecting them like I was. Some people think its just a few names,a few words or maybe they are even stupid enough to think it helps,but it doesnt. I know I will never be "normal" emotionally but this chub minnow will make sure it doesnt happen to my babies.

Anyone says that "names will never hurt" is ignorant and obviously has not had to suffer verbal abuse.

Name calling DOES hurt....permanantly. The scars never go away....and the damage done by name calling (especially by those who are supposed to love you, and especially when you are a child) has a trickle-down effect.
