when Marjorie was 6 her father passed away... she adored him, he was her bestest friend... anywhere Marjorie wanted to go he would take her...
Her mum was also everything to her, but when her father died that quickly faded...
it was a Monday morning and Marjorie's mum was getting her ready for school and she noticed her skirt was a little to tight on her
*Marjorie's mum* "oh marjorie you need to stop eating... your gonna get even bigger than you are, now your skirt is to small"
Marjorie just sat there... seeing as she was only six she didn't really understand what to say or do...
It was after school and she came home with her mum and she had a banana and some crackers, her mum snatched it out of her hand and made her eat just a banana and told her
"MARJORIE WHAT DID I TELL YOU EARLIER... STOP EATING SO MUCH"
Marjorie just cried...she hated people shouting..she ran upstairs and locked her self in her room
a couple years passed and Marjorie's mum would make these snarky comments every now and then still... and then she met Marjorie's step dad... Marjorie was 8 when she met him, she didn't like him as she thought it was too soon after her dads death
her step dad was horrible to Marjorie and her mum didn't do anything about it... A few months have passed and her mum and step dad move in together...
It was now Marjorie's 9th birthday and she invited a couple of her friends over..her mum put out party food on the table but only put out "healthy foods" so no one really ate anything... her party was okay though she had fun and forgotten all about her mum and step dad and just focused on having fun with her friends the day went and her mum just started shouting Marjorie because she said she looks "too fat" in her dress and it was embarrassing for her friends parents to look at Marjorie like that... all Marjorie did was sob.. and then her step dad started body shaming her too.. so Marjorie stood up for herself and said he doesn't need to get involved it's none of his business...which made him angry...
he slapped her across the face and
Marjorie just sobbed and ran upstairs and locked herself in her room...
