My close family (mom, dad, everyone on my dads side) totally supports me being veg. But the fam. on my moms side is super obnoxious now. I've been veg for around 5-6 months now, the doctor says I'm doing fine and that I'm just as healthy, if not more, than I was before. But everytime I see people on my moms side of the family (which is quite a lot every holiday and LOTS more) they make nasty little comments about me not eating meat, say I'm malnourished, or say 'its just a phase'. If we go out to eat, they say, 'oh, we better not go, there might not be VEGETARIAN options' and then laugh in my face.They call every few days, reminding me to get enough protein and making fun of me. They are the polar opposite of my dads side, who thinks veg is cool and try not to eat meat around me. Some of them are vegetarians too. I'm just sick of my moms side... I feel like I can't be around them anymore. I'm only 13 so I have to visit them if my mom says so, which is all the time. Please help me!!!!!!
