Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon described in 1973 in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.

I'm so glad that Edward is doing the right thing by Esme. She needs help she was abused for way too long to do it without professional help.

I hope that Edward can overcome this but so many years of abuse is going to make it hard.

See Edward is just as much a victim as everyone else. I am just so worried Carlisle will start hurting Ava. Hopefully Edward will snap out of it before that happens.
Date: 20 May 2013 9:52 PM Title: Chapter 22
Well of course Edward was abused the same way that Esme and Bella are. I even wonder if his adoption is legal or is Carlisle took him like he did Esme. Edward is just as much a victim as Bella and Esme. Which is why I have mixed feelings about them being together in the end.

Oh if it wasn't against Bella's will and Edward wasn't a psychopath it would almost be romantic the way he carried her and feed her. But I'm sure in Edwards twisted mind that that is exactly what he's doing, being romantic.

Don't know yet how this ends, but here is MY HEA! Carlisle threatens again to take Bella and Ava away from Edward. He finally snaps, and strangles Carlisle to death with his bare hands. He is arrested, tried and convicted of murder and is sentanced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. So Bella and Esme are saved forever from Edward and Carlisle's further abuse, and Ava is spared. They live HEA together and flourish using the money from her father's life insurance to live off of. They eventually send Ava to Harvard undergrad where she majors in psychology and women's studies and then later goes to Law School. Ava becomes a clinical psychologist and attorney, specializing in helping battered women and children and prosecuting the sickko men who abused them.

The only thing that will help is that Bella & Edward need counceling. Bella has been abused forever and Edward is an abuser and has been abused and controlled. They need to shoot Carlisle and Esme by default.

The conditioning that Edward has had has lasted a life time. He needs help. Bella will follow him but she needs it as well. Remembering that she has been abused by her father and her husband. I guess you can do this in an EPI with a look back. I mean when this happens it takes years for these people to get over.

I hope Carlisle ROTS in prison, and has to share a cell with violent, big, bad gay Bubba! He's such a sick, twisted fuck! He deserves the WORST!
I also hope that Bella can retrieve ALL of her money from Carlisle, or wherever it went. He DOESN'T deserve a cent! I think it's gonna come in handy, especially while she & Edward recover/heal...and possibly have to help care for Esme, too.
I know Carlisle is in trouble for kidnapping Edward, but is he also responsible for Charlie's death?
I hope that Edward gets better...he's already come a long way in a short time, whether he realizes it, or not. I also hope that he can get to know his real parents...they've both been denied, and missed out on so much! Plus, they're grandparents, now! I hope they are good people.
Sad to see the epi coming so soon. :( This has been a good story...quite the rollercoaster ride! I hope it's a HEA. :) Thanks!

I have struggled reading this story. I keep reading hoping to see Bella opening her eyes and getting out of this situation. If they start beating the baby, I will not read any further. That is just too much for me.

I think Carlisle needs to have an accident of some sort...I'm just saying! What a mean SOB he is. Are we going to hear any of his back story as to why he is like he is? I'm not sure I want to know. It is disturbing to have cameras in the house without knowing! He must get off on the controll. Thanks for the EPOV..he is really in a bad place.

Date: 22 Oct 2012 7:24 PM Title: Chapter 24
Please, PLEASE let Carlisle get what he's got coming to him!!! I HATE him!!!!!
I bet he is the one who killed Charlie, knowing his son would be blamed, and most likely incarcerated. I think he's a sicko who wants his son out of the way so that he can go over and play house with Bella & Ava...and it scares me!*CRINGE* I also would bet that the $2.1 million that's now in Edward's account - thanks to Bella - is appealing to that slimeball, too. PLEASE DO NOT LET THS HAPPEN!
And PLEASE do not let Edward concede to Carlisle's insanity any more, and start punishing Ava! It's beyong absurd to even consider punishing a 2 month old for ANY reason, EVER! Edward NEEDS to take a stand, & fight back HARD...take control, and free all of them from Carlisle's evil grasp! I know that deep down, he's a good man. Please let him be a hero for once, and let them all heal!
I'd also like to know the story behind Edward coming into Carlisle & Esme's life, since he's not their biological child. I'm thinking that Carlisle kidnapped him.
Looking forward to the next chapter. :)

Please, please tell me that Edward is going to either stop acting like his father or stand up to his father or something? This is such a good story, but it legit pains me to even think of this messed up situation they're in. Carlisle is an evil bastard who deserves to rot in hell. I just can't imagine anyone agreeing with this lifestyle and it kills me. Who the hell spanks a two month old? She can barely hold up her own head! She can't even talk! Please tell me it gets better and that Edward gets some sense??

Another great chapter. I feel sorry of Edward and his realtionship with Carlisle. I can't wait for next week.
Date: 15 Oct 2012 4:18 PM Title: Chapter 23
What a mess!!! And still so many unanswered questions!!! If Edward wants to be a man, and the head of his household...abused or not, he NEEDS to wake the hell up, and cut daddy out of his life! He has NO place in it! He HAS to know that what Carlisle does is NOT right!!!
I hope that Bella takes the baby and gets away from all of this insanity and abuse before Ava becomes a part of it, and is abused & damaged as well.
I still would LOVE to know what Carlisle & Edward did with all of Bella's money??? The insurance money, plus the money from the sale of the house. Dr. Hale was right...it could've been an asset to her - enabling her to take Ava, and start a new life away from all of them crazies! And if Edward ends up in prison, how will she care for herself financially? I dread the thought of Carlisle trying to take Edward's place! I wouldn't put it past him to try to have sex with Bella, and play the role of dominating husband to her, and daddy to Ava! *Shivers*
I would also LOVE for Carlisle to get his comeuppance! BIGTIME!!!
Looking forward to next update! :)

I have a hard time reading this. I wonder if anyone else does. Bella is abused period first Charlie now Edward. HE is conditioning her like they do in the mind control. In war the military does that to prisoners they want to get information out of. She may take this for a while but sooner or later she will break. Threatening her with that baby is going to make her flip.

Very interesting! I'm not sure how I feel about the characters right now. Good chaperter.
Date: 09 Oct 2012 2:47 AM Title: Chapter 22
Jasper's reaction was shocking, to say the least! How did he get the journal? Did Alice betray Bella's trust? I wouldn't trust EITHER of them, from now on, if I was Bella, that's for sure! And I wouldn't have let Jasper leave without returning my journal to me! I just have a bad feeling that it's going to come back on her...badly!
As for Carlisle...I knew he was dispicable & slimy, but now, he's the lowest scum of the Earth!!! To do what he did to Edward as a child was beyond abuse! I'd LOVE to see something very BAD happen to him!
While I don't condone or approve of Edward's behavior at all, this chapter explains a lot of it. Edward, Esme, and now Bella are all victims of his abuse, both directly and indirectly. I hope that they can all get the help that they (not Carlisle) deserve, break free from Carlisle and his cycle of psychotic abuse and tyranny, and have a chance at a HEA with their daughter, whom I hope is never exposed or subjected to it.
I'm wondering if Edward even murdered Charlie? I know he stalked, kidnapped, & brainwashed Bella...I just feel that there's more to it, than that. Charlie was also a mean, abusive, uncaring/unloving person...maybe someone else done it? Someone he had beef with. Possibly Carlisle?
I am also curious about how much they sold Bella's dad's house for, as well as how much insurance money she was left? I was shocked that her dad even left anything to her. I know Edward & Carlisle handled it, but what did they do with the money, besides the bail?
Great story, so far. :)

The child psychologist was a poorly written character, I thought. She should've interacted with Bella differently.
I'm pleased we've finally reached the prologue. I really want to see Edward and Carlisle get fucked over. They deserve it, and then some. I don't want to tell you what to write, but I'll be a very disappointed reader if they don't, and I probably won't finish reading.

Would like to see Edward finally realize that this is not a healthy relationship. Looking forward to your next update!
