Under our swimsuit photo, my own daughter wrote all sorts of nasty things: I decided to teach her a lesson đ˘đ˘
I have never been ashamed of my appearance. Yes, Iâm sixty, not a young magazine cover girl, my figure is far from perfect â but I have always accepted myself as I am.
I have wrinkles, a soft tummy, and hips that used to be my pride and now show the years Iâve lived. But all of this is part of my story, my life. And my husband has always said Iâm beautiful. Even now, after 35 years of marriage, he can look at me as if we met yesterday.
But recently, everything changed. For the first time in my life, I started to feel ashamed of myself.
It all began with a seemingly innocent photo. My husband and I went to the sea â a rare chance to escape daily routine. We were standing on the beach in swimsuits, he hugged me at the waist, and I was smiling. I wanted to capture the moment and share it with friends on social media.
Yes, I knew the swimsuit highlighted all my âflaws.â But damn, thatâs no reason to hide from everyone!
A few hours later, likes and warm comments started appearing: âWhat a beautiful couple!â, âHow wonderful that youâve been together for so many years!â. I smiled⌠until I saw my own daughterâs comment.
She wrote: âMom, at your age, you shouldnât dress like that. And definitely donât show off your fat sides. You better delete the photo.â
I froze. As if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over me.
It wasnât a joke. It was serious. My heart sank. I gave birth to this girl, stayed up nights, fed her, took her to school, helped her get into university⌠and now she writes this to me.
Thatâs when I couldnât take it anymore and did something I donât regret. Unfortunately, I now have to relearn how to accept and love myself đ˘. Continued in the first comment đđ
I stared at the screen for a long time. Then I slowly began to type:
â âDear, these are our genes. In twenty years, youâll look the same. And I truly hope that by then youâll be smart enough not to be ashamed of your body.â
I sent it. Deleted her comment.
But it wasnât enough. I decided that if she allows herself to publicly humiliate me, I have every right to set boundaries. I stopped answering her calls. When she asked me for money two weeks later, I replied coldly:
â âOh, sorry, Iâve already spent it all on food. Thatâs where my fat sides come from.â
She was offended. But honestly, I didnât care. Maybe I went too far, but in that moment, I was defending myself.
And yes, since then I still catch myself looking at my reflection critically. Sometimes, when wearing a swimsuit, I cover my tummy with a towel.
Iâm angry at myself for this â because I know itâs not about the body, itâs about how we women too often let others dictate how we should live and look.
I taught my daughter a lesson, but it seems I still have to learn the most important one myself â how to stop being ashamed of who I am.
