Was Lizzie Borden abused

Answer 1

Many times the dynamics within a family can be hard to guage. People get very good at living a lie, presenting a unified and happy picture. That being said, there has never, as far as I know, been any proof whatsoever, that Lizzie was abused in any way. If she was it has been kept a secret for over a century.

While it is true that some abused children may lash out at others, Lizzie did not seem to exhibit behaviors that would give one to think that their family was anything but average, with the exception, of course, the double axe murders.

Many people that have normal childhoods, can and do commit murder as adults. Unless new evidence is uncovered, it is safe to say that Lizzie got impatient and hastened her inheritence by murdering her parents.
