There is no "following sentence" so I don't think you're ever gonna get an answer...
Abused people respond well to love, but they usually don't believe it's real. They wonder why they aren't being hurt or why there is no pain in their love. If they are in a relationship with someone who abuses them, and they never got help as a child, they will continue to be abused and hurt. If they did get help as a child, they will, most likely, walk out of the relationship. On the other hand, people who had good childhoods will respond 'normally' to love, getting out of bad relationships, and staying in good ones.
