Is it cold in here?:
Not at all. She might have been absent or neglectful, leaving Marigold without a role model.
NotAwesomeAnymore:
@Barmymoo, I agree that it's not just one incident or one person that screws someone up. But people can start developing bad emotional habits from a very young age, as a result of their upbringing or life circumstances. E.g. A person with neglectful parents may be uncomfortable with someone being attentive to them, because it's so unfamiliar. So instead, they'll keep surrounding themselves with neglectful people. That can really compound an anxiety problem.
The wiki says this:
--- Quote ---Marigold has mentioned her father (who has since appeared in the strip[91]) but there has been no word in the comic about her mother. If she had an absent, dead, or neglectful mother that deprived her of an early role model for being female, some of her problems could be explained.
--- End quote ---
"no early role model for being female" sounds way too Freudian to me.
Barmymoo:
Also complete nonsense - there is no one way to be female, and even if there were I'm fairly certain that Marigold will have met other female people during her childhood.
Schmorgluck:
There have been hints that Marigold has been victim of bullying. We know what happened at the last party she was invited to, and we know what was done to her with a dissected frog. Oh, and Angus mentionned people made fun of her all though school, too.

C-c-c-colour change?????
I feel like today's comic is maybe a lead up to
"she's at Hannelore's"
"Why?"
"[explanation and grump]"
"Mar thas fucked up"
"Whaaa?"
