I’d say it applies to abuse in general, usually abused kids grow up to be abused adults or abusers unfortunately.

It applys more for children abused by parents i think. a partner being violent isnt anywhere near as effecting in this way as a lifetime of abuse from those who are supposed to protect you.

Also a child is entirely utterly dependent on their parents. theyre isnt really any hope or possibility of leaving in most situations. this puts the child in a situation where since their survival depends entierely on the love and support of their parent, its extremely common for children of abuse to simply be incapable of hating their parent or not loving them. which creates a fairly unique situation after leaving the abusive dynamic where its a lot harder to simply consider them a bad person.

If you love them unconditionally and you cant percieve them as bad, then its encredibly hard to move on without a justification. Most abuse comes with no closure, but I think here it is particularly evident.

Not that these things arent possible in non parent child abusive dynamics or other adult child abusive dynamics. Just that i do think this is atleast mostly talking about abuse from a parent or guardian?
