Yeah I purposely wanted her to have a moment where she was thinking that what he'd done "wasn't really abuse" as it's one of the things I could see someone in that situation thinking--that they have this mental idea of abuse meaning that you end up in the hospital or that it's somehow that obvious, when there's a lot of things that someone can do that are abusive without being obvious.
And yeah, I wanted Kim to have that realization that just because her parents did have big problems in their marriage didn't mean that there wasn't something she could take from it.
