Writing Tips #78: Basic Tips To Write Better Abuse Victims & Abuse Situations

Mon, 20 May 2013 15:50:14 -0500

As requested by someassemblingrequired

Abuse is a horrible fact of life, and it takes many forms. Unfortunately, it’s often misunderstood and handled badly in fiction. This page contains potentially-triggering material, so be warned.

Abuse often starts out small and gradually gets bigger.

If abusers started off new relationships at their prime levels of nastiness, they’d drive away just about everyone at first go. But by starting small, they can progressively desensitize victims to physical and/or emotional abuse - and by the time they’re in full swing, the victim will have so much invested in the relationship that cutting loose will be difficult - if not next to impossible.

In some cases, the abuse escalates because the abuser discovers that xe can exert control over the other person and find that xe enjoys doing so. The abuser will escalate

Victims are often reluctant to leave because they have a lot invested into their abusive situations.

Leaving the abuser/abusers could mean leaving behind friends, family, and even children. Depending on how much and how long the victim has been in the situation, it could mean leaving behind xir entire life. They may have nowhere else to go and no way to get out, particularly if the abuser has taken control of the victim’s finances and/or isolated xir from contact with others.

If the abuse comes from a cult/religious group, the victim may believe that leaving the group would mean losing salvation (or whatever metaphysical prize the group offers).

Some victims fail to leave because they think the abuse is normal.

If a person has grown up in an abusive environment, they may see abusive behavior as perfectly fair and normal. Depending on their level of isolation, it may have never even occured to them that there could be any other way to do things.

Brainwashing is half the game (at least).

November 17, 2003 - Disney has shut down production on the animated movie “A Few Good Ghosts” for creative reasons.
“A Few Good Ghosts,” which mixed traditional and computer-generated animation, had already gone through a number of title changes — including “My Peoples” and “Angel and Her No Good Sister” — and was being directed by Barry Cook, one of the directors of 1998’s “Mulan.” Set to a bluegrass score, it revolved around a group of ghosts inhabiting folk-art dolls. Its voice cast included Hal Holbrook, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin.

Prince Gumball’s path to the throne was brutal. Fionna wasn’t around during the Sugar Wars; Gumball distracts her by acting super bland and wearing disco pants.

Marshall Lee knows the truth, but as Chaotic Neutral, he just can’t bring himself to give a shit.
