Clarissa: “- I can only repeat for the 15th time: look at the parents. This was obviously an abused child. Abused at home and from a very early age.”
Jennifer: Nobody knows if the child was abused deliberately or not, but I suspect that given her strong feelings, there may well have been two negative circumstances in her upbringing. I suspect one of these might have been neglect — which led to her seeking attention online. Another might have been rather typical for our Western culture. It may have been that her parents were very god fearing believers who taught their daughter that males represent the positive polarity of human nature. They are benevolent, helpful and lift us upward toward grace. Supposing one had internalized those values, very negative treatment by a male would have seemed like the ultimate condemnation from on high.
If there was any abuse at all, I am betting it consisted of those precise components of abuse, which I have witnessed and at times also experienced.
