My entitled aunt has been fat shaming me my entire life and decided that she was going to give me money for my 18th birthday so that I could get on Weight Watchers and finally get in good health.

0:09.4

But after denying her gift as well as dealing with her awful behavior my entire life, I finally put my foot down and decided that enough was enough.

0:16.9

But now as a result, my aunt is offended and my parents think that I overreacted.

0:21.7

And at this point, I seriously don't know what to do.

0:23.9

Here's what happened.

0:24.9

Okay, to start things out, I'm a female and I just turned 18 yesterday.

0:28.5

But it seemed to have caused a bit of drama in my family, so I'm asking for honest,

0:32.7

objective opinions on whether I'm wrong.

0:35.0

I'm using a throwaway account because this situation is obviously

1:00.1

context to it. Now, I had not seen my aunt in a while, and for the most part, I was really glad

1:05.1

to see her for my birthday. I was slightly dreading if she would say anything to me, because

1:09.4

I'm aware I have gained a lot of

1:11.0

weight since I saw her last, but she made just a few comments, so I thought that was the end of it.

1:16.0

I was opening a birthday card that she gave me a few hours later, and it had money in it, but it also

1:20.7

had a note that said that this money was for Weight Watchers, and that for once I can finally

1:25.1

make some real change. Now, this was humiliating, and I asked her about it,

1:29.4

and she said that she could tell that I was miserable, and that I probably looked really good
