Again, please stop putting words in my mouth and suggesting I\\\'m calling them \\\"awful, abusive, unfit parents.\\\" Just how unfit they were is arguable, but they weren\\\'t awful or evil. No parent is perfect and all parents make mistakes.

However, most of those parents avoid isolating their children for years on end and encouraging their crippling fears and self-loathing.

In fact...let\\\'s frame it another way. Let\\\'s assume that instead of shutting Elsa away, the King and Queen let her roam free. However, any inkling of her powers being used would result in Elsa being hit. Not beaten within an inch of her life, but walloped pretty resoundingly all the same. And let\\\'s assume that this was done with the absolute best of intentions. Her parents still loved her and believed that stifling her powers by any means necessary was the most important thing. Let\\\'s assume that she grew up with all the same emotional problems we see in the film.

Would that or would that not be abuse?

The King and Queen were loving, but they were \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' good to Elsa.

\\\'\\\'Good intentions. Do not excuse. Abusive behavior.\\\'\\\'
