Part of it might be escapism tbh the reality of it doesn't seem like it lends itself to any positive spins for a story. "Those abused tend to turn into their abusers one way or another" and "those abused will always stay a victim" aren't really topics people wanna write or read about and it's perfectly understandable.. There's always room to have that and build off of it to have it develop into that positive space of overcoming it, but that requires a lot more research and care compared to the quick fix of "the pain helped me grow"..

There's quite a lot more to say on the subject but those are my basic thoughts on it and I.. don't think I'll do it any justice talking about it any further since I'm not that well educated on the matter so I'll leave it at that. I'm real curious to see where the discussion on this goes though!
