As visp said, none of us was diagnosing the OP of this secret with anything. We were just pointing out an alternative interpretation to a commenter who basically said, "Wow, you must have had a really cushy childhood with ideal parents, since you don't recognize abuse when you see it."

"Why would anyone spot that behavior who's not familiar with the topic?" I think a person who had a happy childhood with a basically healthy, loving relationship with their parents, or a person who has experienced emotional abuse but got away from the abuser, are almost equally likely to see Gothel's behavior as unhealthy, creepily possessive, selfish and abusive. If you've experienced abuse and you have gained perspective about it by getting away from it, you'll recognize it. If you had a healthy, non-abusive, non-manipulative relationship with your parents, you'll recognize its opposite. But if you had an emotionally abusive parent and don't realize it, then your only model for a good parent-child relationship is the one you were told was good. You lack a perspective from which to judge.

Eh, that's basically what I was calling armchair psychology though, I might not have used the proper word? What you're saying seems such a simplistic look at it.
See, what's bugging me so much about that logic is that I don't have an abusive mother and I never would've classified Gothel as abusive (or noticed the whole nickname, hair-touching, undermining confidence thing. I thought she was just wacky, because Disney villains usually are) and I would guess that it is simply because I'm bad at picking up such things. I refuse to believe I'm the only one who was totally blown away when people commented on that.

Wait, you thought Gothel was "just wacky" and you're calling anybody's analysis simplistic? Does not compute.

[world_eater]

Not the analysis of Gothel, the analysis of the people who do not perceive her as abusive.

[Edit]
And before that's up for misinterpretation too: I meant the analyising that people here do of those that do not...and so on.
