People under stresses like that do NOT respond the same way as we do sitting here quietly at the end of the day at our computers.

She was under his control not just physically, but probably also in an emotional/survival level that we can't relate to.

Kind of like an abused wife that stays locked in the house when the husband is gone to work, because he tells her not to leave.

Short term intense traumas can cause the same sort of blind obedience for a time.

I don't necessarily believe the whole giving of herself sort of thing as it has been related to us, but then again, that might be what SHE needs to believe about it.
