Unfortunately though, about half of the Twilight fans I know are actually in or have been in abusive relationships. And while it may be possible to consider that its own separate problem, I personally believe it to be linked.

For example, I know a girl who was originally in a relationship with a guy who wasn't the best match for her, but treated her unbelievably well. Now after glorifying Twilight and Edward (she's actually the reason I know the books exist) she's with a guy who was trying to get her pregnant and trying to get her to try heroin. She's been with him for over a year and says she could see herself marrying him, and says things like "we don't know him like she does!"

Another girl I work with has been in several relationships, none of which I've ever known to be healthy. She also likes Twilight and the idea of Edward.. until I pointed out that Edward's behaviour was very similar to her ex who showed up at the job one day, cursed her out, then went outside the store to cut himself. She is no longer enamoured with the books.

Sorry, but Twilight is the ultimate glorification of battered woman syndrome. Yes, it is possible to be a fan and know the difference between a normal and an abusive relationship. But most people really aren't that smart.
