Maisyās Relationship & Key Details:
- Sadie and Caleb were high school sweethearts who moved way too fast, with Sadie getting pregnant and giving birth to Maisy when she was only 16.
- They got married and really did try their best for Maisy, but the unfortunate truth is that they were just too immature and not emotionally ready to be parents.
- Both of them worked, Caleb working days as a plumber and Sadie working nights as a CNA. When they weren't working, they were usually either resting or spending their free time out.
- When Maisy was little, she was usually left in the care of other family members or babysitters. But once she got old enough to look after herself, they often wouldn't even bother. Because of this she was a very independent child, albeit quite lonely.
- She sought comfort in her interests and hyperfixations, as she still does to this day.
- To make matters worse, Sadie got pregnant again when Maisy was 8 and gave birth to a boy they named Niko.
- It didn't take long for Maisy to essentially become the sole caretaker for Niko. She was left in charge to take care of the both of them while their parents worked, slept, and spent their leisure time however they pleased.
- This continued on until Maisy turned 19, when they finally decided to move out. Their parents were obviously not happy with this decision, but ultimately didn't interfere with it.
- Niko is currently 16 and still lives at home. He and Maisy are still close. Despite going to therapy since moving out, Maisy can't help but hold a grudge against their parents for the neglect and parentification. But for Nikoās sake, they do maintain limited contact.
