I mean RumBelle and Regal Believer are two examples (and the biggest probably) but I could list many other examples of this show messing up with abuse related subjects which makes it hard to enjoy the show Overall, I think you hit one of the nails on the board (even if we may disagree on the intensity). The emotional development and events aren't usually matched with what it should look like. Characters are hit by a truck, yet they get up with a paper cut wound.

Like I'm suppose to believe that Emma is hurt by Hook's secret, then she sort of forgets it an episode later (because plot?). Regina goes all hypocrite on Zelena...and there's no follow up. Snow and David did something bad years ago and Emma goes all "OMG! They suck!" That's despite her being friends with Regina and Hook who literally killed people and did bad things up into like two seconds ago, lol. And they apparently forgive Rumple fully every week, then they also ignore Belle's woes every other day, while also antagonizing Rumple because....he does it too.

Graham gets assaulted. Dead. Robin gets assaulted and as it's starting to get addressed...Dead. Let's not get started on "Heroes don't kill."
