I don't think that's it. Here's her reply when I questioned not being abused, luck.

Yes, I call it luck. I call it luck because I was lucky enough to have met and dated two guys in my life who treated me like a queen. They were never violent or disrespectful towards me, even at a time in my life where I felt I didn't even deserve that. Hell yeah I was lucky!
I could have easily landed in that cycle of violence but I was lucky enough not to. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who don't value themselves enough and allow it to happen anyways.
