I think for stuff targeted at kids and teens, these types of narratives are suppose to be hopeful for those who may be in difficult situations. But the over simplification could sort of under mind how these type of people may deal with stuff like PTSD or impostor syndrome.

And in some situations, the abuse can come off like misery porn. Which can be more triggering than helpful for victims. But I think some people like these types of stories because they have hopeful endings. And they are treated as inspiring and heartwarming. Tho sometimes it feels like the fetishization of victims.
