I’m sure you could never escape from a tent so I kind of understand.
Most people don’t understand that almost anyone can be “broken,” with the term used precisely as in breaking a horse. The old slave breakers knew it, and today’s pimps understand the process perfectly.
After a while most people psychologically accept their situation and begin to take it for granted as normal. This is much more the case when the victim is a child. They will often even identify with and come to “love” their victimizer. It is a survival mechanism.
People can be domesticated. They don’t want to escape any longer.
