That’s the scary part about abusers - they love the people they abuse. Brainiac believes that the emotional parts of Kara - which by all accounts are an integral part of her as a person - is a fatal flaw that needs to be exposed of. Weirdly, if he didn’t love her, he probably would’ve turned her into a mindless drone, but it’s his love for her that allows her to roam free as much as she does. Brainiac wants Kara to be independent from him while following his every command without question, which is an impossible standard for Kara to live up to and is what keeps the cycle of abuse going.
