Stockholm syndrome does that.
“Stockholm syndrome does that.”
That’s a possibility isn’t it?
People are so caught up in taking sides here - when there really are a number of possibilities, and we can’t tell what the truth really is.
Robyn could be telling the truth. It’s possible Mel never physically abused her at all.
or....She was abused and has some sort of motive for claiming otherwise. Which could include financial motive. Or emotional motive - maybe she still wishes to coddle or protect?
Or maybe she is afraid of him?
Or maybe he has somehow convinced her she deserved poor treatment.
There are alot of possible scenarios - and none of us have a clue what is really happening.
