Abuse comes in many forms, none of it good. If you understand the devastation it can cause to a child, the article makes perfect sense.

I understand abuse well enough, and what you need to understand is that there are varying degrees of abuse. Unless the article is leaving out a lot of stuff, there is nothing so severe in Taylor's childhood or life that would excuse her self-destructive behavior. As I said, I have known a number of people with histories far worse than hers who don't act in such ways.Taylor, like all Hollywood types, is given sympathy and excuse because she was rich, famous, and pretty.
