I think my mum is emotionally abusing me! She calls me fat every singld day and tells me ways to lose weight like how I should drink lemon water through out the day, eating a banana before a meal helps you lose weight, if you hit your stomach a few times a day it keeps your stomach flat, how I shouldn't sit straight after eating and I should walk around for 10mins instead and I shouldn't eat dinner at all.. And if I don't do anything she will lock me in my room and make me starv myself!

She made me marry this guy a couple years ago just do he can get his PR and stay in the country cos his tried a few other ways and he kept failing them and marriage was the easiest option.. Mums being trying to make me have his kids even though we're not sleeping together and she tells I'm to fat no one wants me

    I suspect you have a neurotic, paranoid and controlling mother, which is not normal. In some ways it is good. People who are controlling are often that way because they care and think you depend on them. However, people like this are often paranoid and expect you to obey them. A parallel can be seen in aggressive, abusive partners in domestic violence cases. This situation must be difficult, but never forget whose life you're living, your own. You need to demonstrate to your mother that you are independent and strong, or she will never change.

    Yes I can divorce him but only once the guy I'm married to gets his PR.. But I'm not sure if u can do this in Australia! And yes I think she's only trying to be a good mother and doing what she thinks is best!

    What country are you in? Forced marriage is not legal where I am from. Are you from the middle east or something? Also she has says you need to go on a diet and is trying to give you healthy options to lose weight. I think that is her trying to make sure you are healthy but where I live its not legal to force marriage anymore or at least not to my knowledge so I have to wonder where on earth your located.

        You can do that in Australia? Well first off is there anyway to get out of your marriage? and second if she is simply suggesting you eat better and you are overweight I believe she is just trying to be a good mother. Well I found a site for forced marriages. I don't know if this will help but here http://www.forcedmarriage.net/

    Locking you in your room and making you marry someone for permanent residence is definitely not normal.
