What's stockholm syndrome?

ANSWER

“Stockholm syndrome” refers to the psychological phenomenon of kidnapping victims, when captives begin to sympathize with their abusers. This defensive mechanism may contribute to a victim’s chances for survival, but it lingers even after the victim is free of the ordeal.

Stockholm syndrome is when you fall in love with your kidnapper, abuser or things of that nature. It is a coping mechanism.
