My sister has obvious issues around food and always has done. When she was a child she would become angry at people eating, if they had a lot of their plates she would protest that it was too much etc. now as an adult she dislikes overweight people, actively despises obese people, gets angry at the words “breakfast” and “supper”, constantly comments on people’s food and eating habits …
Last year she was arrested for punching her then partner in the face as he was eating crisps too quickly or something ridiculous. The charges were dropped but it was a scary time, I did my best to support her at the same time was like wtf, you can’t just punch someone over a packet of crisps!
Anyway, that finally blew over but last weekend the police were called after she started a huge argument in an all you can eat restaurant (which for obvious reasons she shouldn’t have been at!). Turns out she’d started on a random woman because of how much she had on her plate doing impressions of her and ultimately throwing food at her. The woman obviously retaliated and the police were called. She got away with it but the bloke she was with left saying she was a nutcase and he had no interest in pursuing things with her. I’ve told her she needs counseling but she sees absolutely nothing wrong with her behaviour. AIBU to distance myself from her until she gets help? No idea why she is like this. Shes never had an eating disorder or anything, no going hungry as a kid, no being forced to eat stuff as a kid - as I said this started very young anyway.
Its worrying and embarrassing, not to mention the fact that we can’t discuss food around her and god forbid anyone mentions breakfast - it’s just ridiculous how we’re all expected to tip toe around her without any expectations of her to sort it out. There is talk of a Christmas meal this year, no fucking chance I’ll be going yet im seen as the one causing issues by our mum??
