It is not the duty of the writer to educate their readers about good and bad relationships.
And her writing about it might just be from her experience of people actually romanticizing toxic relationips in real life and her trying to capture it. Ask any person in a toxic relationship....and many of them will tell you that they love their partner or father of their child despite the abuse. Abused children are often the same. Human actions often do not make sense and I think writers ought to be allowed to capture that without being labelled as problematic. Now what I have a problem with are the covers of her books. They make the books look like typical romance books. It would be better to sell her books as something different.
Also many people who read her books do recongize they are toxic. A friend of mine read some of her books and said "She really captures the toxicity well." She had two boyfriends who were utter toxic. The first one was a control freak who isolated her from her friends and later became a creep and the second one cheated on her because he assumed they were in an open relationship.
