This. Sadly I know multiple people who have been abused in various ways, and their experiences and coping mechanisms are all different. There is no such thing as a singular all-encompassing experience where abuse is concerned because it can be carried out in so many different ways.

I did not make this clear in the secret, sorry, but one of the reasons I object to these fanfics is they seem to present only one way for people to cope with abuse. It is always the same beats and reactions (cries, talks about it with person they are shipped with, they kiss or something and then all of a sudden they feel better), and that it is what really bugs me. That's why I mention that they're monotonous and cliche. I'm not saying they should be more like my experience, but all the fics are so similar to each other and simple, it annoys me. I would prefer if they WERE showing unique experiences.

That sounds reasonable. There are many different responses to abuse (I have two friends that were abused, and they dealt with it completely differently). If I came across fics that had the person always deal with abuse in exactly the same way, I'd assume the writers got their ideas from fanfiction, not real life, and perhaps had all been reading each other's fics and getting their ideas in that way.

I wasn't abused, but I was raped and personally I like to read/write fics that have the person raped saying it wasn't that bad, and denying it was even rape, because that's how I was for many years myself. I didn't cry about it for over a decade. That's the way I dealt with it but there are as many ways as there are people.

I think I've been lucky in the fandoms I've been in. I've not seen fics doing what you describe. If I did come across that, it would annoy me. I'd feel that the writers were being rude, without perhaps realising it.

A lot of fic writers in some fandoms are quite young.
