Disclaimer Alert: I've never been in this situation... obviously not many people have. I risk being insensitive... but after a whole thread, nobody has asked this yet;
Why didn't she attempt to escape?
Now obviously 24 years is a long time... seriously like 1/2 a lifetime in a confined space? There's no way you wouldn't have psych issues (in my opinion). But wouldn't ANY kind of escape or attempt happen? What if he NEVER let you go? What if you died down there? Wouldn't you do absolutely anything to get out?
What could or would you do in this situation? I've been thinking about this... I'd be willing to go to some pretty drastic measures. I guess I don't understand all the circumstances, so I definitely cannot and would never judge. But I just got to thinking... what would I do if that was me?
That is terrible either way. Very very sad. It's one of those things where no punishment is good enough... and the best solution is that it never happened at all.
