It not only damages a persons body and overall health, but it creates mental scars too.
And the thing about ones mental health is that sometimes it likes to trick people.
For example, convince them that something bad thats happening to them, like abuse, isnt so bad.
And sometimes, even years later, they still cant shake off this way of thinking.

At some point during the day, John came back from work and went to sleep.
But he didnt sleep for long.
The OPs scream brought the aunt into the room.
She even bribed them with money and ice cream.
20 minutes later, the dad showed up and soon John ended up in the hospital.
After that, Johns life kind of fell apart and he became an inconsistent force in Abbys life.
Now, years later, Abby still blames the OP for ruining her family.
In her eyes, if they wouldnt have said anything, maybe things wouldnt have fallen apart.
Even the family members urging her to let it go never seems to work.
People with this syndrome over time develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers.
After all, this woman seems to brush off all of her dads violent behavior.
This bonding mechanism serves as a coping strategy to diminish fear and perceive themselves as being in less danger.
But this time, the author couldnt take all the whining and so they just lost it.
They told Abby that they were not even the slightest bit sorry about what happened to her dad.
This made Abby break down and the OP was told they went overboard by some of the family members.
So, they decided to come on Reddit to ask for netizens opinions on whether they really went overboard.
The netizens made it clear that they dont think that the posts author went overboard.
