OF course they will deny them.
Not saying they did abuse her. However, an abuser doesn't agree that what they are doing is abuse. They justify what they do. Some of what they do, is considered 'normal' to them, because of their upbringing. LIke some folks spank,others don't. Etc.
ICA can claim she was abused and believe it. That doesn't mean she was or folks would believe it was abusive.
Case in point, I know a gal that when she was a child picked a hole in her shoe. Her parents warned her it was causing a hole and that they could not replace the shoes if she made a hole. She ignored the parents. Developed a hole and had to wear holely shoes for 2 weeks. She tells the story of how abusive her parents were for making her wear holy shoes to school. She does not remember that she caused the hole or that her parents told her that they could not afford to replace the shoes right then. She sees things with her childs mind.
Another words, you can make anything out to be abusive, if you want to. If your a child use to getting what you want, being denied something, even delayed, would feel unfair. But to a child use to not receiving, they are willing to wait and be grateful for receiving. A spanking to one child might not be abuse, but to another,,, would be considered abuse. It's all in how the child is raised to think on what they believe abuse is.
Soo if ICA was raised to believe she should get what she wants, when she wants it. And that she should never be questioned, that she should never be restrained or held accountable in any way.. if her parents later decided to do any of these things, in her mind, they are over stepping their bounds. And being abusive. She would start thinking hateful things about them, etc. As a person with NPD, she would never see it from their point of view.
IF she believes she is abused and folks don't believe her little stories are abusive, she would make up stuff that folks would consider abusive.
