that can happen, it can take time, depending on where the abused person's self-respect and other factors are at. NOt necessarily a smooth process.
I was thinking of many (:eyes: lol) experiences I've had of being emotionally dependent on a scumbag "partner", and working up to believing the bad reality was worse than my love illusion.
adding another thought on edit:
The pictures I'm seeing on various websites are showing Kerry looking better than Bush. Media folks do NOT just pick photos casually; their choosing flattering, strong looking pics of Kerry indicates a change of attitude. IMHO
