Fucked if I know. If you were to ask me, I'd say that the one pathologizing your friend is you. I didn't say that her ability to deal with adversity in roleplaying was traumatized by her crappy dad, for instance.
Want to talk about when hard adversity is a loving gift and when it's bullying? I'm right there. That's a great topic, it matters a lot, it's something we all deal with, and it's absolutely the kind of thing that concerns me as a game designer and as a friend.
You'll have to come here non-defensively, though.
