once your mother left you when you were 7 years old your father’s girlfriend moved in. A few years later they got married and Angie, is now your step mother. For a few months you thought she was cool until she began gaslighting you into things and criticizing how you looked.

it was Christmas time. You walked down the stairs in your nice clothing, when you were greeted by your step mother.

“Are you finally ready??” she scoffed out as you looked at her and then your father, then your little brother who was holding a dinosaur stuffed animal.

Angie’s harsh gaze was felt on your choice of clothing.

“Don’t look down. When you look down you have a double chin. I have already told you.”

angie was a control freak. Keeping the house in line and keeping you kids in line.
