Daddy loves you, but he smacks you, and he can shout at you and smash things, but Daddy still loves you. So when you get into a relationship with someone who does all of that, why would it be unusual?

Summary

This quote suggests that some people may accept abusive behavior in their relationships because they have grown up in an environment where love and abuse coexist. It implies that witnessing love accompanied by negative actions, such as physical violence or verbal abuse, can lead to an internalization that these behaviors are normal in relationships. Thus, when individuals repeat this pattern by entering into similar relationships, they may not perceive it as unusual because it mirrors what they have experienced in their past.
