Nah, Stockholm syndrome is a real and serious thing. People identify with their captors. Imagine being locked up in the dark your whole life, growing up in the dark with beatings and fear. Imagine learning the status quo: that you are on the bottom of the pyramid with your mother. It’s basic human nature to seek out hope, so imagine the first loving touch the captor that you call “father” bestows on you. You would do anything to have that feeling of love and hope that there’s something better. Because all you know is darkness and pain.
