A 16-year-old girl went on holiday with her mother, her mom’s best friend Rita, and Rita’s family. Rita, who recently lost weight due to a strict diet, constantly commented on the girl’s eating habits and body throughout the trip. The situation escalated on the last night of the holiday, leading to a heated exchange between the two. The girl is now questioning whether she was in the wrong for standing up to Rita.
