Sorry, I should have spelled it out, not my sister-in-law, but my
son-in-law - *HER FATHER* - is the one calling her porker. He makes
a huge issue of it every time she puts something into her mouth.
He's always been this way with my daughter, too. She always wore a
size *negative* one, then she had some problems getting off of
Effexor and gained about 10 pounds (which she has since lost), and
from the way he talked to and about her you would have thought she
weighed 300 pounds instead of 130 pounds! This
http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNip...i/DCP_2592.jpg is a woman
who has borne *THREE CHILDREN*!

She does, she has started to sneak food so that her father doesn't
see her eat. It's so sad, and I'm so afraid for her. I keep hoping
that my daughter will do all she can to counteract his influence,
but she is terribly cowed by him - he's a bully.



That is weird and creepy. What is his issue? Even if he finds very
thin women attractive, you do not expect a 7 year old to be
"Attractive" in the way an adult would be... I sincerely hope that
this unfortunate flaw is his worst attribute rather than one of
multiple problems.
