I'll be honest that I am unfamiliar with this trope you are talking about... Perhaps that is a good thing for me? I mean it also depends on what kind of abuse we are talking about. I personally have multiple main characters and I'm not sure if I can attach this idea to anyone, neither do I feel like I have seen an extreme amount of it in stories that I read. I would say the typical route that I see a lot more is that of someone having a tragic past, and someone else helping them get over that. And I've certainly never seen a message of "abuse is good" like nowhere ever. Just being honest.

This is all considering that I understood the message. Maybe I am just missing the point completely which is likely as well. Feel free to correct me on anything I might have misrepresented.
