it is hard when a parent is the one to make a negative comment. my mother did that to me all the time. I would be going out the door on a date and she would stop me and say something about my clothes or makeup, etc.
I had a heart to heart with her, kept my cool and nicely told her that I knew that she didn't realize she was hurting my feelings. when you say it that way, it gives the other person a graceful out. they can then say they were sorry and try not to repeat it.
my mom stopped. your mom might not realize just how much it upsets you. try to speak with her in private and during a time when she seems "open" to a discussion.
I am old now and have my own child. I know that I catch myself about to say the same things and make sure that I don't. I think that it is because, as parents, we still want to think that our opinion matters, when we know that it doesn't.
yes, that kind of advice like 'don't let it get to you' doesn't help. your totally rite. Because it will get to you and you can't help that. If you look good with what you like then by all means go for it. Bot not everyone is going to support your opinion on what you like. Let me guess, when she says something it crushes some of the self esteem you gain from looking good? Well go for what you like, it can't always be about the parents opinipon

What should I do? I keep doing stuff that I think make me look really beautiful and then my mom will make a comment that really gets to me. And dont say "just dont let her get to you" because I've already tried that.
