For example, always saying things like 'You're so stupid' or 'You'll never amount to anything'. Another pattern can be physical abuse, which unfortunately still exists. This includes hitting, slapping, or any form of violence. And then there's also neglect, like not providing proper food, shelter, or medical care. It's really sad when children have to grow up in such toxic family environments.
One common sign is excessive control. In sad abusive relationship stories, you often see one partner controlling what the other wears, who they talk to, or where they go.

The patterns in Chinese ghost stories can be quite diverse. There's the pattern of the cycle of reincarnation being involved. Ghosts might be trapped in between worlds because of unfinished business related to their past lives. Symbolism is also a pattern. For example, certain objects like red strings or old mirrors can have special significance in the stories. These objects can be either a connection to the ghost's past or a means to ward off the ghost. Additionally, family curses or inheritances are sometimes part of the pattern, where a family is haunted due to something that happened generations ago.
One common pattern is the cycle of violence. It often starts with a build - up of tension in the relationship. The abuser might become increasingly irritable, critical or controlling. Then comes the actual act of abuse, which can be physical, like hitting or pushing, or emotional, such as constant belittling. After that, there's a honeymoon phase where the abuser may be overly affectionate and apologize, making promises to change. But this cycle usually repeats. Another pattern is isolation. Abusers often try to cut off their victims from friends and family, making it harder for the victim to get help or support.

Frequently, in family drug addiction stories, there is a sense of isolation. The family may isolate themselves from the community because of the stigma associated with drug addiction. There is also a pattern of role reversal. For example, children may have to take on adult responsibilities like taking care of younger siblings or providing emotional support to the non - addicted parent. And, family members usually experience a great deal of guilt, either for not noticing the problem earlier or for not being able to 'fix' the addict right away.
One common test pattern is the use of futuristic technology like warp drives in science fiction. It's a way to test the limits of what we can imagine in terms of space travel. Another could be the creation of alien species with unique cultures and biologies, which tests our understanding of diversity. And time travel is also a test pattern, seeing how characters interact with different time periods and the consequences that follow.
