This is a horrible yet fascinating story, no?
There's got to be whole boatload of Stockhom Syndrome going on there, to be sure.
I'm surprised, yet glad, that she still had the wherewithal to even want to escape after all those years of subjugation. Good for her. I hope her re-introduction back into society goes smoothly for her. Poor thing.
And yeah, damn that fucker. He got off easy.
I think she's in for quite a spell of adjustment. Not that she'll ever be 'normal', but at least she has a chance at some sort of life now.
So I suppose now we are all expected to let out the women locked in our basements? One bad apple has to spoil it for all the rest of us.
Maybe just one of them. You know, put on a positive front.
