1)who are you talking about? the characters Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist?

I don't think that either were "abused" as children.

Ennis' parents were killed in an truck accident, and his siblings raised him mostly. He was a victim of poverty, but I'm not sure how that can be thought of a deliberate abuse.

Jack was raised in a two parent household. His father was gruff and crude and enforced his lessons harshly, but abusive? I think that is debateable.
Is it abuse that his parents did not force him to finish high school? That comes closest in my mind to abuse, but I suspect that it was Jacks' decision to drop out.

2) are you talking about the Lureen and Alma characters?

 I can't see how either were abused, in fact Lureen was probably spoiled as a child.

On the other hand, I have always wondered, with no real evidence, if Lureen was a victim of incest. Could Bobby be L.D.s child?

Now that would be bona fide abuse!   

3) are you talking about Ennis's two girls or Bobby Twist?

the girls seem to be treated well. now was Bobby abused?

 Lureen seemed to neglect getting a tutor for his dyslexic reading problem, was that abuse? maybe

Merci beaucoup brokeplex!!

Your post reveals much. You are brilliant!!

A- I am very happily surprised to think that Lureen was possibly a victim of incest !! In the past, I did think that,
but I did NOT dare mention it before, because many were displeased that I thought that she was lesbian  !! ??

So, maybe that could be like a proof ??
............

B- It just now brings me to mind (to my surprise) that Jack was so sexually abused too... as maybe incest ??

.......

C- Am also surprised that you think differently about abuse !! Maybe that or those concepts vary/ are varied ??

Au revoir,
hugs!  You merit more than one trumpet for your great[/b] post!! Good start !! Pray you'll add many too !!
