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.
really isnt a HEA

ok i have read this and i dont know what to say. the sad thing is there are people in the world like carlisle....i have no words....i think this was one of the worst evil carlisles i have read. that should be a good thing cause it was written very well.

wow this story was a wild ride even the second time reading it ;) thanks so much for posting it here ;D
Date: 13 Aug 2014 12:54 PM Title: Chapter 27
Well I loved it, you don't know how many times I wanted to knock Edward out, but I see it's not his fault. Great story!!
Date: 12 Aug 2014 12:40 PM Title: Chapter 22
What was in her journal? And i really hope Edward stops being so mean!
Date: 11 Aug 2014 2:28 PM Title: Chapter 14
Wow this story is so intense. Poor Bella she is so brain washed poor girl. I love EXB but not this E!!

i feel like screaming my lungs out loud!
Date: 11 Oct 2013 11:31 PM Title: Chapter 27
So many twists & turns! I thought the HEA was oing to be Bella running away. I would not have predicted this outcome!

I'm glad he's firing in prison
Date: 21 May 2013 12:41 AM Title: Chapter 27
IIn glad to see that things are better. I do believe that they are both truly happy and that's all that's matters.
Date: 20 May 2013 11:57 PM Title: Chapter 26
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.
Date: 20 May 2013 11:00 PM Title: Chapter 25
I hope that Edward can overcome this but so many years of abuse is going to make it hard.
Date: 20 May 2013 10:12 PM Title: Chapter 23
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.
Date: 20 May 2013 6:58 PM Title: Chapter 21
God this could play out in so many ways. At this point I don't know what I'm hoping for.
Date: 20 May 2013 5:14 PM Title: Chapter 20
Well we knew that was coming.
Date: 20 May 2013 5:08 AM Title: Chapter 19
I wonder if Edward will lighten up on her moodiness now that he kknows she's having a baby.
Date: 20 May 2013 4:42 AM Title: Chapter 18
I don't blame Bella for wording about Alice.
Date: 20 May 2013 3:43 AM Title: Chapter 16
Oh I wonder if Jasper is the same way Edward is. They are cousins.
Date: 20 May 2013 12:54 AM Title: Chapter 15
Poor Bella having to go to school with a sore behind. Maybe Edward did that on purpose so she would remember to be good.
Date: 20 May 2013 12:30 AM Title: Chapter 14
The wedding was really beautiful. And I'm a little happy at how the honeymoon worked out. It was really romantic.
Date: 19 May 2013 11:54 PM Title: Chapter 13
Well. There right now is Bella choosing to stay.
Date: 19 May 2013 11:24 PM Title: Chapter 12
Wow! I have insomnia and know how it feels being up 48 hours on only 3-4 hours of sleep. Your whole body aches and your brain feels like swiss cheese. I can't imagine only 1-2 hours in 72.
Date: 19 May 2013 10:55 PM Title: Esme's pov outtake
Oh I never thought badly of Esme. She was in the same place Bella was.
Date: 19 May 2013 10:50 PM Title: Chapter 10
I do not like the thought of this at all.
Date: 19 May 2013 10:24 PM Title: Chapter 9
He finally broke her.
Date: 19 May 2013 9:49 PM Title: Chapter 8
Ahhh! So Edward is not the first to take a wife this way. I wonder what Esme will have to say to Bella.
Date: 19 May 2013 8:03 PM Title: Chapter 6
While it is painful I want to read more. That's a little scary to me. Especially after what just happened in RL with those poor girls in Cleveland. But maybe that's why I need to read this. Who knows. All I know is its well written and interesting.
Date: 19 May 2013 6:46 PM Title: Chapter 5
I can't imagine what the hea will be.
Date: 19 May 2013 6:02 PM Title: Chapter 4
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.
Date: 19 May 2013 5:41 PM Title: Chapter 3
I wonder if he will keep his word about not beating her?
Date: 19 May 2013 5:17 PM Title: Chapter 2
I didn't imagine Charlie being abusive. That was a curve ball.
Date: 19 May 2013 5:07 PM Title: Chapter 1
Oh wow! This should be interesting. I was in the mood for a dark story and I think I found it. Lol
Date: 28 Feb 2013 2:05 AM Title: Chapter 28
So carlisle beats edward yet he thinks hes better than charlie and he is against abuse on women yet he abused esme. I hate carlisle
Date: 19 Jan 2013 5:12 PM Title: Chapter 1
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.

This is hateful and mysoginistic crap. How can this be written by WOMEN? You should be ashamed of yourselves. I've already wasted too much time on this and will not waste another second reading another word!
Date: 10 Jan 2013 3:31 PM Title: Chapter 28
Thanks for the bonus chapter. Loved having the last bit of questions answered. Carlisle is crazy.

Date: 19 Nov 2012 2:32 PM Title: Chapter 1
I absolutely loved your story. Even after I was done reading I continue to think about it a week later. I had to come back and review. I am glad there was an HEART but still realistic. Amazing read. Thank you.
Date: 13 Nov 2012 10:31 PM Title: Chapter 27
My heart breaks for Edward's real parents! I cannot imagine their anguish.
Date: 12 Nov 2012 7:52 PM Title: Chapter 27
Loved! Realistic I thought that Edward continued obsessed with control, because no one changes so much.
Kisses.

Their relationship is toxic. The only person I feel bad for is Ava. Please let someone adopt her.
Date: 05 Nov 2012 9:24 PM Title: Chapter 26
Wow that was crazy. Poor Ava
Date: 05 Nov 2012 3:15 PM Title: Chapter 26
OMG please tell me that things will work out for them!
Date: 05 Nov 2012 3:09 PM Title: Chapter 26
Edward Good to get away from their parents monstrous hit a child, is a covardia.Sinto things that were taught to Edward are firm in their soul, and it will be difficult for him to get rid of all teachings Carlisle.Mas see you accept a demand of Bella, is a change.
Date: 05 Nov 2012 2:49 PM Title: Chapter 26
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.
Date: 05 Nov 2012 2:26 PM Title: Chapter 26
Can't wait for the epilogue.
Date: 05 Nov 2012 1:49 PM Title: Chapter 26
damn esme is frickin nuts!!!!!!!!!
Date: 05 Nov 2012 12:46 PM Title: Chapter 26
I think Edward needs some therapy also. He need to look in the mirror. Looking forward to see how this all works out.
Date: 30 Oct 2012 7:04 PM Title: Chapter 24
Carlisle needs to die
Date: 30 Oct 2012 1:46 PM Title: Chapter 25
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.
Date: 30 Oct 2012 12:06 AM Title: Chapter 25
wow talk about shit crazy i mean edward finds out he was kidnapped meets his real parents still has bella and ava to deal with and doesnt know what to do since carlisle has told him what to do all of his life thatll be one big adjustment for him to make!
Date: 29 Oct 2012 4:34 PM Title: Chapter 25
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!
Date: 29 Oct 2012 2:16 PM Title: Chapter 25
Poor Edward. I thought that maybe he was brain washed too because of the headaches he and Bella seemed to get when the "script" was being followed. I hope Esme is not too screwed up by all of this. Thanks for the update
Date: 29 Oct 2012 2:02 PM Title: Chapter 25
I think he can do it.. he will get there with Bella's help. great story and I can't wait for the last chapter and the epi!
Date: 29 Oct 2012 1:38 PM Title: Chapter 25
I'm so glad Carlisle was arrested.
Date: 29 Oct 2012 12:54 PM Title: Chapter 25
Update soon please loved it xx
Date: 24 Oct 2012 5:05 AM Title: Chapter 24
I hope Esme listens to this and turns in Edwards father in to the police, so edward can get help and everyone can be happy.
Date: 23 Oct 2012 8:28 PM Title: Chapter 24
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.
Date: 23 Oct 2012 3:13 AM Title: Chapter 24
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: 23 Oct 2012 1:00 AM Title: Chapter 24
OMG what a fucked up asshole Carlisle is! Poor Esme, Edward, Bella and Ava, I can't believe that Edward hasn't killed him off yet. please let him get to his bastard father and take him out permanently!!
Date: 23 Oct 2012 12:25 AM Title: Chapter 24
So basically Carlisle is the bottom of the whole controlling mess. He is sick. Edward wants to please him so hey if it is be more mean to Bella no problem. They need to pack up and leave that nasty bunch.
Date: 23 Oct 2012 12:23 AM Title: Chapter 24
GOD CARLISLE JUST NEEDS TO IKE FUCKING DIE I MEAN HE IS A TOTAL ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 22 Oct 2012 9:57 PM Title: Chapter 24
Wow Carlilse is CRAZIER than even I thought originally! BAT S_it CRAZY!!!!
Date: 22 Oct 2012 8:43 PM Title: Chapter 24
Please don't let them.start beating that baby I don't think ill be able to keep.reading this. Let carlisle rot dying would be to easy
Date: 22 Oct 2012 8:17 PM Title: Chapter 24
Loved it carlisle's a bit coocoo
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. :)
Date: 22 Oct 2012 7:13 PM Title: Chapter 24
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??
Date: 22 Oct 2012 6:52 PM Title: Chapter 24
Poor Edward! Carlise is a Tool! Please tho, not beating babies. No matter what. Thanks for the update
Date: 15 Oct 2012 6:51 PM Title: Chapter 23
please tell me that these two will have a HEA after everthing they are going through!!
Date: 15 Oct 2012 6:42 PM Title: Chapter 23
Damn I'm wondering thqt if carlisle was out of the picture what edward would do. Would he change or would he be the same???
Date: 15 Oct 2012 4:30 PM Title: Chapter 23
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! :)
Date: 15 Oct 2012 2:20 PM Title: Chapter 23
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.
Date: 15 Oct 2012 1:56 PM Title: Chapter 23
This story just keeps gettin better cnt w8 4 nxt update x
Date: 10 Oct 2012 12:48 AM Title: Chapter 22
OMG HOLY CRAP THIS STORY JUST GOT LIKE HELLA MORE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 09 Oct 2012 3:19 AM Title: Chapter 22
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. :)
Date: 09 Oct 2012 12:31 AM Title: Chapter 22
I was worried we weren't getting a chapter today. It was worth the wait. I can't wait until next week.
Date: 09 Oct 2012 12:14 AM Title: Chapter 22
Edward is not the only one with a fucked up life. Bella's father deserves what ever happened to him. Edward is unbalanced. He is the one that needs the shrink.

If we have to wait a week please make longer chapters! Pleaseeeee

First and foremost awesome story!!! I hope Edward gets screwed and Bella finds some independence!!!! I hope that Edward at least apologizes...seriously
Date: 02 Oct 2012 7:32 PM Title: Chapter 21
A crazy chapter and story. I can't wait for more and to see what happens.
Date: 02 Oct 2012 8:57 AM Title: Chapter 21
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.
Date: 02 Oct 2012 8:24 AM Title: Chapter 20
FINALLY! I hope Edward goes to jail -- same with Carlisle.

I love it. Cant decide if I want her to remember or not! Great story!
Date: 01 Oct 2012 4:40 PM Title: Chapter 21
Wow!! What a powerful chapter! Edward's actions (well the whole family) have come to light and now it is up to Bella to save her husband. Wonder if she will have a breakthrough and realize that he doesn't love her and abuses her just as much as Charlie did. Would like to see Edward finally realize that this is not a healthy relationship. Looking forward to your next update!
