I thought that's what the book was about?
Right I’ve just listened to the chapter on audible about it… (Louise narrated it herself)
She said the stepmum made mean comments about her mums family and wouldn’t let her see them but louise thought that the family didn’t want to see her. She also said that it was Louise’s fault her mum got cancer due to the stress of having louise so louise thought she’d killed her mum.
Apparently step mum was mean about how louise looked and acted. Called her fat. Also called her mum a whore and dirty. But then the stepmum would be nice occasionally to keep Louise quiet.
Eventually the step mum started shoving and smacking her when Louise did something the step mum deemed as wrong like being messy. She also then started calling Louise a whore. When Louise fell over the stepmum then kicked her repeatedly. She then adds that the step mum spat at her at times.
She also punished louise for not wearing clean underwear even when she was.
She ma Louise eat too much food until she was sick. Then called her greedy and fat.
when Louise was 12 she got B’s on a school report the step mum then made her kneel on the bedroom floor with her head on the bed & the step mum sat on her head for an extended period of time until louise believes she passed out.
When Louise told her dad the first time. The step mum lied and told him that Louise we making it up.
She would also publicly humiliate Louise by letting her go to school with broken glasses and backpacks and bad hair etc
She also didn’t send Louise to school with any food.
Louise wasn’t allowed to wear a bra or shave because that made Louise a whore.
Louise planned to kill herself on the New Years Party for the year 2000. But then instead decided to tell her dad the truth.
sorry that this is a hit all of the place. I wrote it as listening so I didn’t miss anything.
