Teresa Pomarico

Teresa Pomarico is the single mother of Abba Pomarico. She is sweet-natured and spoils her daughter. However, unlike Abba, she is kind and polite toward others, including the children.

Personality
Unlike her crude daughter Abba, Ms. Pomarico is a nice woman to all people. It seems that Teresa cares for her only daughter deeply and has the best of intentions for Abba, even if that means spoiling her excessively. She also seems to want her daughter to have kinder friends, which is why she appears to encourage a friendship with Mimsy Cabbage, instead of the mean girls that support her daughter's poor and bossy behavior. It is also shown that Teresa is easily manipulated by her own daughter and acts as a permissive parent. This permissive attitude could be to placate her daughter as Abba often becomes aggressive and throws terrible tantrums when she does not get what she wants.

While we do not see Teresa often, this could be because she has a job being a single mother and may not always have time to spend with her daughter. This could be a factor contributing to Abba's poor behavior as she acts out to get her mother's attention. This absenteeism or ability to be easily manipulated by her daughter is why she doesn't apprehend Abba for her terrible behavior more frequently. This lack of attention to her daughter could also be why Abba does not seem to get the help she needs as she lacks good grades at school.

Teresa is known her promiscuity in her past and tends to engage in sexual activity, despite negative consequences. She has an intense preoccupation with sexual fantasies, urges and activities, leading to adverse consequences and clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important functions.
