i (20f) was just about to graduate highschool in 2019. my mom (51f) is a photographer so naturally she wanted to take my senior photos. it’s not her job btw it’s just a hobby. she liked the “fall/autumn look” so this happened in october of 2018. she got very very very angry with me when i told her i didn’t like my outfit and wanted to change. i wanted to look good in these photos since i new she would want to plaster them all over facebook. my self confidence at this point wasn’t high at all so i was just over all anxious about the whole thing. especially since i’ve never had my photo taken outside of my own selfies and picture day. also, we were meeting up with a family member who was graduating the same time as me, so she wanted to take their photos too. anyways, she’s yelling and making comments to me about shit i can’t remember. she managed to get my dad fired up and he was yelling at me “SHE TOLD YOU TO GET READY!!”. (i was only taking an extra 20 minutes) i remember pulling out this shirt and showing her to get her opinion (learned my lesson very quickly). she threw a whole fit. screaming at me throwing all these personal jabs about how irresponsible i am and blah blah. then she says “I HATE YOU”. obviously, one of these worst feelings i’ve ever felt and i haven’t forgotten that to this day. she did a poor job at apologizing, but i still looked at her and said “but you still said it. why would you say that to me?” it broke my heart ya know? over a simple outfit change? it’s not like we were meeting a professional and had a scheduled time… we were just meeting up with family. i was just genuinely uncomfortable with my body and wanted to look decent so i was questioning every single outfit. but still none of that doesn’t matter to her now. the reasoning never matters to her… nothing i do will be perfect enough for her. which isn’t my problem. not anymore i’ll be moving out soon.
