As someone who has experienced that, I can tell you the reason is beside the point. Bottom line is that they were saying things to her with the intent of making her feel bad. Same with the mother. The tone, sarcastic or not, or whether she "agreed" or not is not as important as her intent to demean her. Unfortunately, THAT´s what happens when you grow up in an abusive household. You´re made to feel like crap. It doesn´t matter why they were making fun of her; she may imagine but she may never know for sure.

And then when I got home my mother would tease me about how much weight I've gained. My relationship with her isn't too close either. Your story really does make me want to be stronger and not mope about it, though.
