So slight hot take thread
Honestly it warms my heart to see the amount of animated media nowadays that isn't afraid to make characters with pasts of parental or romantic abuse and give focus on how that affects them

However, and maybe this is just me, there's noticeably more instances of parental abuse here than romantic abuse. Hell tbh the only big instance in recent animated media I can think of is Blake and Adam from RWBY. Which is pretty well done minus needing some early focus. 
Point is though that we need more of this. Yes, parental abuse may be more relevant to animated media since it mostly appears in shows aimed at family and kids but I think it's important to express this type of abuse too. Mentally and physically.
Because like it or not, romantic abuse is just as prevalent in today's society as parental abuse and people need this rep to help recognize their situation and work to prevent and/or leave it.
