Emotional Abuse!

Bimbo is a 23 year old single mother who suffers from chronic anxiety and low self-confidence, and if you ask her, she'll tell you

“This isn't how my life was supposed to turn out!!”

You see, she grew up in a very abusive home, and her parents hardly disciplined her physically but they were known to use their words sharply

When her mother was mad at her, she called her names like “useless” “worthless” “silly” “dumb”.

At first she just felt hurt by her mother's words, but soon enough, she began to lose her confidence and self-esteem... her mother's words slowly began to shape her life.
