Her mother goes overboard and asks what her daughter would do in some random situations (which I thought was unusual), and every answer the girl gives, the mother doesn’t believe it. She also accuses her of things she may have not done, so her daughter has resentment about it, and in turn, her daughter handles her resentment by running out the door of their home as soon as possible before her mother can criticize her anymore.

My interpretation of this article is that the author is trying to validate reasons for the child to not be accepted due to her weight. Therefore, I would like to point out some of the logical flaws in her reasoning.…
