I’m so downcast and want to know if I’m overthinking. I just got to the UK three months ago. I live with my sister and her family (kids and husband). I’d be a hypocrite if I said she hasn’t had a positive impact on me, but she can be cranky sometimes. Since I got to the house, she’s been saying I eat a lot of rice. The rice she buys from the African store doesn’t last as long anymore because I eat rice morning, afternoon, and night. I’m not a foodie; I’m just used to rice as a regular food. Sometimes, when they cook swallow, I eat rice instead. I know I should contribute to food, and I do when I have enough. She keeps mentioning it, and it hurts me. I’ve tried to limit my food intake. I can eat without any meat or fish.
When she came to this country, she stayed at someone’s house, and I never heard her say the woman acted badly. Instead, she would tell them to take more. But I can’t say anything. I endure and can’t complain to family because I don’t like talking about everything or appearing ungrateful. I can’t even talk to my boyfriend about it because I’ve presented her well to him. There’s no one to talk to, so I’m here. It hurts me so much. I’ve also noticed that she cooks less variety now. It used to be 2-3 types of dishes, but now it’s just one. I know there’s food in the fridge that’s not yet cooked. I prefer being beaten to being talked to like this. It hurts me so much, and I feel heartbroken. Am I overreacting?
