Yeah abuse can be very real to some people. It is definitely difficult to reach out when it had made someone feel helpless and traumatized. To talk about it would be another great struggle, so glad this wasn't your true story.

I once was told that some who are abused may tap into this mental state called "Stockholm Syndrome" which made the victims sympathize with the abuser too. I read up on how it got its name too. Pretty interesting. If I remember correctly, it's about some bank robbery victims who were held hostage for days and eventually they became sympathetic with the robbers, wanting to 'help'them too. Anyway, haha sorry for the side track. But yeah I had an interesting read from you again @sharoonyasir :)
