Is it normal that my dad and step mom keep making fun of my weight?
I am 5'4 and 120 pounds. My BMI states that I am 20.6 with is healthy/normal.
I live with my dad and stepmom although I wish to live with my mom and stepdad because they don't try to degrade me every chance they get and they are understanding, rational and funny. My dad and my mom both have joint custody of me. I am curently trying to move back in with my mom and stepdad. I left when i was fourteen because i was struggling socially, mentally, and emotionally and i decided to live with my dad to try if out snd see if things got better thrn i was hoing to move back. That was the deal. I now currently have accomplished what i wanted here and wang to move back but am afraid to bring up the sibject once more because my dad and stepmom cannot vontrol thir anger towards me. My dad and stepmom both know that I am ultra sensitive when it comes down to my weight because I used to be overweight and I never had any friends and would be called fatty and was practically a loner when I was overweight. Because of this I was SUPER shy and not confident about my self and pretty much anti social. Well since then I have lost well about 30 to 40 pounds. I am now where I want to be and should be. I'm thin. But my they keep making fun of my weight. My dad has multiple times flat out said to me that I am fat and unattractive. So has my stepmom. My hair get dry sometimes but only because I don't eat healthy. (I lost the weight by starving myself to death pretty much) and they say that the reason my hair is brittle and dry is because I'm fat or obese or chubby and my stepmom added a new one to the list not even 20 minutes ago. Sumo. Am I really what they say you know...fat? Or are they just doing this to me for a certain reason? I don't understand why they keep doing this to me when they know that I'm highly sensitive to it given my background. I do everything they say and more yet they still do this to me. I just don't understand. Please explain to me why you think they are doing this to me and please tell me if I am fat or just normal. Thank you.

    Honestly, whether you're moving out or not, you should sit down with your dad an step-mum, because no matter what, he is still your dad at the end of the day, and he needs to know that he is making you feel like crap. He should be there for his children and always make them feel welcome and comfortable and support them in life. But unfortunately, it seems to me as though your dad doesn't really care about your feelings.

    Also, why are you trying to move out so you can live with your mum? Why trying? Can't you just phone your mum and tell/ask her if you can move back home? Explain to her and your step-dad how your dad and step-mum are making you feel, they might talk to them for you.

    Don't starve yourself anymore. That is about as healthy as getting obese.

    You're 100% definitely not fat. You said yourself that you're thin. You know you're not fat really, no matter what they say to you. So to hell with them.

    Find any way to move out as fast as possible and don't let them get to you. Your mum and step-dad will take better care of you.

    Hopefully it is not normal, because it sounds like your dad and stepmom are bad people, who are being mean for no reason. Maybe they have some frustrations in their life, which they are taking out on you.

    Do not starve yourself, eat healthily. You don't have to starve yourself to be skinny, attractive or good enough.

    If you're moving out, maybe it is useless to bring up the topic with them.

    You need to live with whichever ones are supportive and not destructive. Then you will be able to focus on achieving your goals and try to be healthy, not just thin.

    You need to tell someone because your dad and step mom are being abusive dickheads. Call up your mom/step dad and tell them about the situation.
