If you were reading a story about Stockholm Syndrome.

Would you want it to be in the abused or the abuser point of view ?
Cuz' I'm writing a fanfictions with this theme, and I'm in the middle of it but still haven't posted it. And I wrote it in the abused point of view.
But now I realize that all stories with this theme are told from this pov, but none that depicts the psychological state of the abuser.
Wonder if I could do that...

I remember I watched this movie called "Boxing Helena" which I guess had to do with Stockholm Syndrome...since he cut off her limbs and sh*t

How is cutting off her limbs even related to Stockholm syndrome though...?

@IDidNotFart: well, he thought that if he was able to make her totally dependent on him that she would fall in love with him..it was a shitty movie

@JarJarBoom: hmmmmmm that doesn't really sound like Stockholm syndrome to me. It sounds more like the guy was hoping/aiming for Stockholm syndrome...which is even more fucked up! O__O

@IDidNotFart: yea...I guess its Stockholm related? because thats what he is aiming for but it backfires

SW-User

@JarJarBoom: yeah I think you're right. Or maybe it's exactly what this question is about? Stockholm syndrome from the abuser's pov? How could we even know though...

@IDidNotFart: I guess if I really wanted to answer this question legitly, I better go kidnap someone

@JarJarBoom: my thoughts exactly.
