As a psychology student and abuse victim myself, I spent some time researching this subject in reading peer reviewed studies. The outcome from abuse is largely post-traumatic stress and self-esteem issues, as well as reinforcing the environment conducive to developing depression, anxiety, and mental illness, including bipolar disorder. Probably what you are referring to is lacking maturity in certain areas due to abuse, but I believe this would be case-by-case if it were to occur. It is certainly possible if dysfunctional parental behavior suppressed a child's natural maturation processes.
