"headcanon for me i see them as a orphan or probable abused "

Both actually.Frisk has an option to call toriel "mom"something they wouldnt if they had a "mom"and they ask Gerson if Asgore would age if he adopt them,implying that they want to be adopted by him.And they didnt leave Toriel if you choose to stay with her in tp even though we cant control them anymore as if they have no human family.So yes it Indeed seems like they are orphan.

Secondly,yes its implied that Frisk was abused.They climbed a mountain where people are said to "dissapear",start with a bandage that was used "several times already",implying that they were either beaten or strugled with self harm.And i dont think that Frisk got phrases like "noone will ever love you the way you are"out of nowhere since they are a kid,seems like people from their city said it to them.
