It sounds like you get trauma bonded to abusive individuals. Do a search about trauma bonding so you can read about it to understand why you may be doing this.

There also may be some YouTube talks about it.

Making excuses for others can very much end up hurting you without your realizing it. You probably want to be a good person. Yet you deserve to have boundaries and take steps to not engage in trauma bonding patterns.
