REGARDING:
“Stockholm Syndrome- a paradoxical psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy, or even love, toward their captors, in efforts to survive.”

All of which requires they actually be hostages in the first place.

Ok kids, here’s your homework for the day. Study the word:

Stockholm Syndrome- a paradoxical psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy, or even love, toward their captors, in efforts to survive. FBI’s Hostage Barricade Database System show that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm Syndrome. (wikipedia)

Think, how did Jacee Dugard survive?? How did she get out with her two children from the man who kidnapped her 14 years before??

She developed Stockholm Syndrome to keep her children and herself alive. And when she got the chance, she made her move.

You do not know the situation, you do not know the circumstances.
Enough said.

No matter whose shoes you’ve walked in, good advice is good advice.

Avoid dangerous and hurtful people even if they give you money or occasional affection.

Avoid accusing the innocent, of course, but don’t pretend like the guilty are innocent or justified.. How can they ever seek repentance if everybody tells them it’s okay?

When I was a boy in Atmore and a man would abuse his wife, the Deacons would pay him a visit, and take him for a drive in the country.

Sometimes women want to leave but can’t handle the change or the stress of starting with nothing with several children in tow. They may not have a good support system and think things will “get better.” Generally, things don’t get better and it takes a lot for the women to leave. As a past social worker, I can say that there are always two sides to any story. Women who are in these relationships definitely DO NOT deserve what happens to them. Some are so naive, they fail to see the danger because they want to believe the good. Some are just young. It is never okay to hit a woman or abuse a child. No matter what the circumstances.

@ Terri, I fail to see unkindness in either of the comments. Women who stay with abusers risk the lives of themselves and their children. That’s what restraining orders are for. Violate one and it’s crossbar motel time… again.

Sometimes the thought of getting out is more terrifying than staying.Sometimes the victim has no where to go.Sometimes the victim has children.Sometimes places like Safe Harbor is filled past capacity.Sometimes we could offer our homes for these victims while in transition.Sometimes people ought to just keep their unkind comments to themselves especially if they have never walked in the shoes of a victim.

If you are in an abusive relationship…GET OUT! If you stay then whatever happens is your own fault for staying.
