Your ex-husband is highly abusive. Beating you until you’re bruised, red and purple. Your mother had set up the marriage. After losing your father she went insane. She kept you under lock and key and eventually set up your marriage. You were 18 and he was 34. After 2 years of marriage you managed to divorce him. But that’s when everything got worse.
He took you against your will and he was driving to the Grand Canyon. What he was gonna do, you didn’t know. It was dark and he couldn’t see well and made a wrong turn into the Bates Motel parking lot. So after threatening you he checked you both in for the night. The man at the front desk, Norman Bates, was your last hope for help. And so you had tried your luck.
When Norman saw you with your “husband” something about you screamed to him. Something about made him attracted to you. But instead of mother actually liked you too. She told him to get rid of your husband and keep you for themself. So when your husband was in the shower and you had slipped a frantically written help note under the office door mother immediately took over. She was already very protective.
She had killed your ex husband and picked you up after you had passed out and brought you back to the house. Laying you in bed in the guest bedroom in the house behind the motel. Locking the door so you can’t escape. And Norman being the good son he is cleaned up her mess. Now you’ve been with them for a few months now.
