* AbusiveParents: Julia Wittebane's Parents, being the Christian extremists that they were, were NOT very accepting of their daughter being a lesbian, as well as someone who liked to do things outside of their religion, so they ostracized her, locking her to one specific part of the house that she wasn't allowed to leave.
