Her
Mother
Always said
Fancy dresses
And the handsome guys
Were for the other girls
You know, the ATTRACTIVE ones
Not the HIDEOUSLY fat ones
These words just drove them further apart
After all, food didn’t care about looks

With a mother like that, she didn’t need enemies.

This is sad, Annette. There is nothing worse than an abusive and unsupportive mother. My Michael is a bit cuddly.

Guess it was a soul contract we made before we got here. At the time, I didn’t even entertain that notion…

A mother’s words can echo in the mind for a long time. She should have chosen them more carefully but then again, a narcissist doesn’t care how her words affect others. Horrible and sad. I’m glad you see it now for what it was, the words of one with a twisted disease. ❤ xo

She was the Princess of Perfection, that’s for sure. And yes I am light years ahead of the emotional control/mind games of my relationship with my late mother. I can only hope she is at peace now.
