  • Maddie's Beginning: May 1, 2000-November 1, 2001

    Maddie was a baby girl born into a beautiful family with a mother, father, and a sister. Maddie was constantly in her mother or father's arms and they always woke up to her cries. Her needs were constantly being met by them. Maddie started off in the world by having nothing but trust for people due to her parents' nurturing. However, she lacked some sense of mistrust which would be important in relationships later on in life. (Stage 1)
  • Grade School for Maddie August 20, 2007- June 4, 2013

    Maddie had begun to learn many new topics in math at her school. For every test, if she got a 90 percent or higher, her parents would treat her to ice cream. For the upcoming math test on fractions, Maddie studied very hard every night. She found out she got an 89 percent the next day. Because of this, she felt like she was not good enough. Maddie had to learn to associate hard work with success too, not just the result. She needed to learn from her failures as well. (Stage 4)

As the years went on he stopped doing those things and became mean towards Maddie. This lead her to feel depressed, insecure, and lonely. Maddie needed to find her self identity before getting into her next relationship. (Stage 6)
