Throughout middle school I was constantly looked down upon, treated as if I was not good enough due to my different appearance. I could still remember the little voices saying, “you’re so stupid, you’re not even pretty” which led to my low self-esteem. The bullying was ongoing and it never stopped, which is…

Asking his daughters how much they love him was perhaps an attempt to fuel his high self-esteem and express his possession of them.
