Admittedly a major plot point. Tome goes from experiencing sexual abuse as a child, being raped and impregnated as a young adult, and suffering abuse as a prostitute (including being locked in a room with a client by her madam) to abusing her own employees when she herself becomes a madam, such as beating them for for doing side jobs.
