first hand what real child about is, not loving parents that sometimes

"abuse" is just a word. Different people have different
definitions for it. Whatever the definition, one can always
find some abuse that is far worse than some other abuse.
Just because there exists far worse abuse doesn't necessarily
mean something else is not also abuse. Instead, you have
to provide a definition and then show how the thing doesn't
fit the definition.

What is your definition of "abuse"? (You're the one using
the word, so how about telling us what you mean by it.)
