Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage can show signs of having feelings of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless 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, rape cases, child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.
Loyalty to a more powerful abuser — in spite of the danger that this loyalty puts the victim in — is common among victims of domestic abuse, battered partners and child abuse (dependent children). In many instances the victims choose to remain loyal to their abuser, and choose not to leave him or her, even when they are offered a safe placement in foster homes or safe houses.

Mohd Riduan Bin Abdullah passed away on the 13th of April, Friday at 2.15pm.
He left behind his loving wife and two sons, the first one who juz turned 3 and the youngest barely 3 months.
He passed away peacefully with his wife by his bedside.
My sister called to inform me that afternoon of his demise. i was not crying till i thought of the two boys, Riqy and Nifael. Riqy was looking for his Papa when he woke up in the morning.
"Mummy, Kiky lapar..nak makan roti.Papa beli kan"
He cried for his Papa when he fell down. He looked for Papa when he wanted to pee.
You could see tears running down his mum's cheeks.
You see his dad when you look at Nifael. He will grow up not knowing his dad. Not gettin the love and care of a father.
My family giving all we can financially, emotionally to support my niece, Ain.
May Allah give her all the strength to go thru these tough times.

usually we prolly wouldnt be be on our feet, would not believe or even care until someone in our family, someone we love, or even we ourselves have been hit by it. by then, of course its too late to take actions and regret.
for the past few months, my dear niece who has juz given birth to her second son has been runnin to and fro to the hospital every single day. she's probably there 20 out of 24hrs a day, goin back only to shower or taking a look at her 3 months old son, sending her other 3-yr-old to school. her hubby, only of 29yrs, is diagnosed with lung cancer. He has been hospitalised for almost three months.
The cancer cells has now spread to his eyes and he has not only undergone chemotherapy but radiotherapy. He is in such a condition now that he has difficulty breathing as his lungs is now suffering from major infection and water retention. it hurts to see him suffer in that way.
perit. the heart breaks when u see his little kid running around the ward not able to even hug or kiss him. my nephew was still undergoin chemo when his second sun had his circumcision done two weeks ago.
last night, all of us were there. with prayers. praying for miracles. i have not seen my niece cried that bad. the doctor told her its juz a matter of time now and we must all be ready for the worst. childhood friends, colleagues and relatives came reciting surah yassin.
my niece's husband, is a smoker. a heavy smoker. he used to hang out a lot wit my late brother. both of them are the only smoker in my family. heavy chain smokers.
please my dear friends, do cut down on the fags. i know its hard to quit, it takes patience and time. slowly. if not now, when? think of ur dear ones. ive lost a brother. it has not been a year yet since he left us, and my family has to take another blow.
do not let this happen to u and ur loved ones. please.
for now, my prayers are for Mohd Riduan and his family.for miracles, for God to make it all less painful for him.
