Miss B made the following statement in the thread about the girl being found that was kidnapped 18 years ago.

I'm so happy she's been found--how great for the family. I imagine she has a long way to go to be normal, though.

My question is about the bolded portion of the statement.
Now... after going through an ordeal like this a person is far from normal. And normal, as Miss B said, will take a while to attain.
Because of their treatment there will be distrust, anger, resentment etc.
Because of their treatment there will be illogical attitudes and actions that will have to be worked through and much patience will need to be had while she works through the mental issues caused by the last 18 years of her life.
I believe that this is an expected outcome of what she has been through.
But what about people who have lived in an abusive home?
Why can't some people see that their "attitudes" and the things they do are somewhat tied to a bad home life and there is a need for patience and, just like the healing from a broken limb or a broken back, healing takes time, patience & counseling?
