Hi Lin,
I am not sure if this is the same type of situation, but I get ill whenever I see those wheat and cheese packaged crackers in the supermarket - the ones that come in single serving 6 packs.
When I was 12 we were living out of our car and had no food, so someone had given my mother a case of those crackers and that was all we had to eat for a long time. Now I can at least stomach seeing them in the store, but I will never ever eat them ... it used to affect me much worse.
Funny, now that I think about it ... my mother used to make me have a drink with her sometimes. She would beg and beg me, and occasionally I would give in and sip so that she would leave me alone. It was vodka and diet coke. Maybe I can thank her for the reason I never became an alcoholic myself?!
