Why do you believe it's better for your daughter to receive abuse and dismiss it than not to receive it in the first place?

It can't be a great idea to aim for the "ideal" situation if it's impossible to do. So much wasted time. Surely it's a better idea to aim for something that one can control, and is obtainable, even if not easy.
