Crybaby (Album)
Crybaby was instantly born into a world of resentment from an alcoholic mother, an unfaithful father and a slightly cruel elder brother who altered his own sister's birth certificate to make her legal name Crybaby. Growing up her home life was fairly difficult with her father continuing to have multiple affairs, her mother falling deeper into alcoholism and her brother becoming a habitual stoner, her emotional nature also made her a prime and easy target for bullies. Being bullied also left Crybaby as a rather lonely and friendless individual, demonstrated from how nobody ever turned up to the birthday parties she planned.

As her life went on Crybaby went through two toxic relationships. One with a young man who cared little for her of whom she dubbed as Alphabet Boy and the other with a slightly older man who constantly pressured her on thoughts of perfection.

As her name would suggest she was an extremely emotional individual growing up something which never truly left her as she is shown often times to be very prone to quick and violent lengthy bursts of misery or pure rage.

As she got older Crybaby matured more and became more confident and relaxed and managed to make friends as time went on.
