Long story short, I used to have a pretty bad ED and am pretty OK now but still have certain things that I ask people not to do or say about the kind of foods I’m eating, how much, etc. My mother knows all of this + everything I’ve been through in my past and knows that I’m very active so need to eat to keep up my energy. I’m home for the holidays and came in from a ski to make a snack and she simply asked me “What are you doing, are you cooking more food?” Obviously, it’s a fine question but it bugs me when questions are asked with seemingly built in assumptions. Anyway, I asked her if she could refrain from commenting on the amount or frequency of meals that I’m eating because it triggers some of my old thoughts and habits and she flipped out on me and told me that it’s my issue and that I don’t have to be so defensive about it and she can say whatever she wants and it’s not her problem if I’m triggered by it. Then she told me I was attacking her for asking her not to comment on my eating. We then got into an argument with me telling her that it is my issue but I can ask people to respect my boundaries. AITA for asking her to avoid those kinds of comments around me and for telling her she’s being disrespectful?
