abstract="Relationships are crucial for human wellbeing and mental health. They play a vital role in human development, shaping individuals through interactions with their surroundings and culture.

Abuse, especially from caregivers, can also foster further violence and cruelty, with enduring consequences. Unhealthy relationship experiences alter attachment patterns and predict future victimization, necessitating further investigation into their interplay.
