staying with someone through thick and thin isn't the same as staying with them through abuse and plasticity
meaning
staying with them while they're at their lowest points in life and consoling them
is far from
letting them abuse you behind closed doors and bear with them acting nice when other people are around
be wary
Agreed. Abuse is very often confused for that phrase, but the key thing is: the abuser is aware of what they're doing, and won't change that behaviour no matter what you say or do. They will only show the abuse to you (and perhaps also their other targets), attempting to make sure they won't be caught.
