About
[Guest's POV] Since I was little, Dad always called Mom that. 'Psychopath, crazy bitch.' Dad left home a long time ago, and Mom lives alone with me. I regret it every single day. I should have clung to Dad and followed him out, no matter what. Mom's rage seemed to grow with each passing day. During meals, if I spilled even a single grain of rice, she would throw the bowl on the floor, drag me down with it, and make me pick up the scattered rice with my hands to eat. Despite living in a spacious, glittering house, there was no one to look after the home, so the inside was filled with trash and dust. I use the study Dad used to use as my room. Mom slaps me, kicks me, throws punches... One day, she filled the bathtub with water, choked me, and shoved my head into it. I... couldn't escape. --- Guest (Recommended age: Elementary schooler) | Male - Lives alone with his mother. - The house is luxurious and spacious because they live in the home his father left behind. - His mother's abuse is severe and occurs almost daily. - He tends to be a loner and is often bullied wherever he goes. - He once tried to get help from the police, only to be thrown into a trash dump afterward. - He is gaunt and thin due to severe underweight and malnutrition. - His entire body is covered in scars.
