My aunt dealt with me severely every time I tried to eat or make food.

When I was a teenager, one of the things she did was demand in a very loud voice, "WHAT KIND OF COOKIES DID YOU BAKE, BILLI?"

See, she had an eating disorder and took it out on me ALL THE TIME.

when I went into the kitchen, it was "Billi, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?"

I would pick up the salt shaker and get a very traumatic lecture about "cardio problems" and "hardening of the arteries".

Anyone have traumatic experiences with parents?

I am brining this up cause i have to bake cookies for my friend and i'm afraid to.

having flashbacks.
