Under our swimsuit photo, my own daughter wrote all sorts of nasty things: I decided to teach her a lesson 😢😢
I have never been ashamed of my appearance. Yes, I’m sixty, not a young magazine cover girl, my figure is far from perfect – but I have always accepted myself as I am.
I have wrinkles, a soft tummy, and hips that used to be my pride and now show the years I’ve lived. But all of this is part of my story, my life. And my husband has always said I’m beautiful. Even now, after 35 years of marriage, he can look at me as if we met yesterday.
But recently, everything changed. For the first time in my life, I started to feel ashamed of myself.
It all began with a seemingly innocent photo. My husband and I went to the sea – a rare chance to escape daily routine. We were standing on the beach in swimsuits, he hugged me at the waist, and I was smiling. I wanted to capture the moment and share it with friends on social media.
Yes, I knew the swimsuit highlighted all my “flaws.” But damn, that’s no reason to hide from everyone!
A few hours later, likes and warm comments started appearing: “What a beautiful couple!”, “How wonderful that you’ve been together for so many years!”. I smiled… until I saw my own daughter’s comment.
She wrote: “Mom, at your age, you shouldn’t dress like that. And definitely don’t show off your fat sides. You better delete the photo.”
I froze. As if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over me.
It wasn’t a joke. It was serious. My heart sank. I gave birth to this girl, stayed up nights, fed her, took her to school, helped her get into university… and now she writes this to me.
That’s when I couldn’t take it anymore and did something I don’t regret. Unfortunately, I now have to relearn how to accept and love myself 😢. Continued in the first comment 👇👇
