Okay. WTF, Mom?

Mom invited herself over again this morning and had to criticize again, saying I spend too much money on cosmetics and stuff for our kitchen like dish soap. She also said I feed Gabe too much and that's why he's fat. Does that look like the back of a fat man? I love the way he looks as much as he loves the way I look. I shared this picture with his permission and on the condition I not show his face; this was from a beach day last September. About the cosmetics, nothing I use on a regular basis costs more than $12 and I don't really buy expensive makeup. I admit the dish soap is a bit expensive but it works brillinatly and smells amazing so I don't mind, it also lasts a long time. I made him the sandwich pictured above for lunch today as he unfortunately doesn't have time to eat with me. He never complains about the food or anything else I do for him; part of me suspects he was completely right when he said Mom is jealous and trying to poke holes in our relationship because she wants me to be alone like she is. If so that's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. She doesn't have to like him and I begin to accept that she never will but to go after his physical appearance especially when there's nothing wrong with it is just low. To his (immense) credit he's never said anything mean to or about her and thinks she might still change her mind. He doesn't know her like I do and it pains me to think he could try forever and change nothing. He thinks I'm stubborn? Believe me, I'm nothing compared to her. She isn't much nicer to his face and that pains me even more. If she gave him a chance to see what I do she would see how sweet and loving he is but I know her and she's already made up her mind. Why would she come over just to talk shit about the one man I've loved who treats me well and make me feel bad? Doesn't she have anything else to do? He's always so sweet and appreciative of everything I do for him; always a gorgeous smile and a "Thank you, baby " generally with a huge hug and kiss. I just had to get that off my chest. I guess that's it for now.
