Why is abuse and neglect not always be recognised?​

It is difficult as the most abusers manipulate the victims and brainwash them in ways to prevent them from speaking up.
One example is manipulating so the victim believes that the abuser is not doing anything wrong. Creating fake reasons or excuses into their abuse.
Second example is manipulating so the victim thinks that it is for their own good because the abuser says so. That it is for their own good.
Third example is the abuser saying that it is the victim’s fault for their sorrow. Blaming the victim and making them believe that they deserve it.
Fourth example is the abuser saying worse will happen if they tell anyone. That they’ll abuse them even more. Saying that it will be better to stay put and quiet and deal with what they’re dealing with right now.
Manipulation can make victims believe that nothing is wrong and what they’re going through is normal. It can prevent victims from speaking up. Without the victims themselves speaking up, the abuse will go unrecognized.
