Is it normal for a parent to deny my experiences and spread rumors about me?

My mother knows I used to weigh 110 pounds and 100% of my weight gain was caused by the drugs my parents were sneaking into my food and forcing me to take against my will and she spent 20 years telling everyone I gained weight from gluttony and a lack of self control because she did not want anybody who visited my home to respect or like me.

She also told my other friends I did witchcraft when I went to church 4 times a week. Because she never wanted children and became pregnant purely because she wanted to spend my dad’s money after he married her.

This genuinely breaks my heart to read. 💔 A mother is supposed to be the one person who makes you feel safe, loved, and protected, not someone who makes you feel like you have to defend yourself against the world. The thought of feeling betrayed by your own parent, especially over so many years, is heartbreaking. Nobody deserves to feel unwanted or have their character dragged through the mud by the very person who raised them. I really hope you have people in your life who see your worth and treat you with the love and respect you deserve. You deserved that love from the very beginning.
