Not many people get into a long-term hostage situation, so I don't think you'll get too much information here.
Sleepingtao, you are hilarious!

The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in a hostage, in which the hostage exhibits seeming loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. Stockholm syndrome is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered person syndrome, child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.

I understand it's meaning involves being close or loyal to one's captor? If so, I remember a darkly intriguing film called, "The Night Porter", where a former Nazi prison guard and a woman he sexually abused while she was an inmate under his watch resume a sado-masochistic relationship when they meet again in the hotel where he works. The acting is very good, very atmospheric, but depressing.
