Subplot.
As most of us know by now, The Natascha Kampusch Story is about Natascha getting kidnapped but there's more to it than that. This poor girl didn't have a good childhood at all. Her parents got divorced just a couple years after Natascha's birth and she had to live with her mother, who was someone she didn't get along with at all. Everyone who knew Natascha knew that she was a daddy's girl. She loved her dad more than anything but unfortunately she only got to meet him every other weekend and according to her those weekends were like vacations. Her mother on the other hand, wasn't as loving as her dad. She used to leave Natascha at home all by herself to go out and meet men and according to neighbours Natascha used to get beat up by her mother. When her mom got a boyfriend who started living with them, things got even worse. Natascha ended up taking care of herself as a child which helped her a lot when she had to spend so much time by herself after the kidnap.
Here's what their neighbour, Anneliese Glaser, had to say about this:
Brigitta Surny (Nataschas mother) always complained about Natascha, she always spoke of her as if she was a problem child, but that was not the case at all. But Natascha never spoke badly of her mum, although we knew that she had a hard time with her.
Once Natascha stormed into the shop where I was working and hugged me and held me tightly for a minute. Then her mother came in, all red in the face and angry. When Natascha raised her head I saw that her eyes were all wet and her cheek was bright red- there was a hand imprint on it.
