I want my mom to stop taking horrible photos of me and posting them on Facebook

So i (18) have always had body dysmorphia and disordered eating habits and it is pretty bad atm.

My mom (40) will always post photos of the whole family on facebook including me. I’ve asked her multiple times to let me choose the photos that i’m in because of how much i get triggered by bad photos but she always has an issue, acting offended when I don’t want an ugly photo of me on the internet because i’m “gorgeous” according to her. She spams these photos on the internet and my mom’s side is incredibly judgemental and the idea of them talking badly about my body makes me want to vomit. Weight is an obsession that a lot of the people in my family have and it’s worsened my issues if i’m honest.

I went through some of her posts a few days ago and saw some diabolical photos that i would’ve never ever agreed for her to post online. I was literally adjusting my shirt in one of them, i have a double chin in another and I just look wide. I asked her to remove them and she lowkey acts like it’s a personal attack. Then she’ll go to an extreme telling me she’ll delete me off her facebook which btw there are still nice photos of me it’s not hard to just delete ones I look ugly in.

I feel like nobody takes my problems here seriously and my family care more about having loads of pictures online despite how badly it triggers me.

In one of my moms selfies she literally has a picture of me in the background looking awful and I don’t know how she didn’t notice I was there because I know she doesn’t do it on purpose but.

She uses the fact that I have body dysmorphia as well to allow herself to post these cos it’s just my disorder like please.

My mom is a very good mom but this has been hurting me so much and nobody is listening to anything i’m saying.
