Avoidance

 I've been watching a lot of My 600 Pound Life lately. I think as someone who used to be there, I can find a lot of understanding and even insight into the various stories. 

One of the things I've noticed is that I am completely avoiding a certain aspect of the show. I can handle watching the embarrassing stuff or even the painful stuff that goes along with being this heavy. However, when it comes to the moment when they confront their parents about their issues, I always skip over it. My brain just does not want to watch that specific kind of confrontation.

I'm not sure what that says about me, my mother, and my grandmother and our various unresolvable issues, but it clearly says a lot.
