Even if you did misread the title it brings up an important consideration. There are some people who think abused people are just weak-willed and won't "snap out of it." Even though you didn't mean it that way, what you posted allows us to talk about how to help someone recovering from abuse.

Sometimes we can, unwittingly, cause great pain by our actions. Sometimes we can, unwittingly, cause great good.

Now if there is one of us out there who has encountered a situation where they were given this kind of "solution" they can comment and maybe help someone else avoid a similar situation.
