I couldn’t have asked for a worse “family” ... I don’t know why some people have children. I was about to reply to a post which said “how to refuse unwanted advice” or something. How to refuse belittling, useless “advice” ..
Some (fairly standard) advice would be “create your own family” - yes I’ve tried this, I’ve found some lovely people. And some.. not quite so lovely
I’m not even sure about posting this.

Please be gentle
The maternal unit would have said “it’s my decision” whether I ate or not. (Whether I live or die

)
Some parents are really quite talented

at treating their children like garbage. Shows superior intelligence? They would think so
Please no posts telling me to “move on”
And if anyone tells me I’ve been “posting about this for years” or something. Don’t bother...(I was given this “supportive” advice about another issue on
another forum... most people here do not know each other. If they take the time to know someone they wouldn’t say insulting garbage like that to another human being.
I’m just having a bad day.
So my question is, how to refuse insulting, useless “advice” - I’ve had my fill of it, especially from the “medical profession”

(I don’t live in the USA) and if I could “move on” from ever “needing” to see any doctor, you better believe it. I would!
