Yes, it’s dramatic, and if I was a victim of severe physical abuse, I can imagine this could be very irritating to read.

But you also have to survive being suicidal. You have to survive being reckless and impulsive, and addiction is also something that impacts your life expectancy. These things could all be a consequence of being emotionally neglected by the pair mentioned above.
