OMG, I'm just about ready to start crying XD! That was such a beautiful ending, not many could bring me to near tears like this. Bravo Selim, bravo :D!!

At some point I stopped reading this story, NOT because - as it often happens - it's badly written or rather flat and predicting, there's nothing predicting about this story, NO, it was BECAUSE it WAS realistic and it drew you inside and made you forget the initial gap between the character and yourself. and since there're enough problems in real life, I was looking for some relaxing fairy-tale story with sunny charactes.
as much as I know how well written "Home trained for you" is, I admit I am afraid of the feelings of deep sadness that continuing to read about the development of this story might arise. I especially don't like reading about (prolonged) physical/psycological abuse, because it leaves scars on those who lived it. also this story made me feel sad... and when I feel like this I can't concentrate on nothing: the images you vividly pictured in your chapters kept coming to my mind.
even so, this story is worth reading and I recommend it to everyone who's not soft-hearted.

I really enjoyed your story,you did really well in outlining the characters personalities,the fear,the addiction,up until the very end.It really has substance,it's not just some sex and random plot.I expected a brutal end,but what seemed the saddest thing to me was the part where he finds out about the real Aiden.The fact that he was only a substitute was the tragic part,not the separation or Joey's death.But anyway,I hope you will write another stories as good as this one.

Awh!! It ended nicely!! For the first time ;D
It really does feel complete. Ah, it's great that Mark is going to be himself again.
DPS? I didn't guess that...but I believe that stockholm syndrome did enhance, or help, in DPS.
Either way, it was a good end. A bright end ;D

Kudos to you on a job well done!

I like that you didn't rush this story and it didn't have quite the happy ending either.

Thank you for taking the time to finish it. It must have been a difficult story to write but you really did the topic of Stockholm justice.

I don't often review because I rarely have anything nice to say. What I mean a story rarely moves me enough to leave a review (I know bad me). However, I had to leave you a note because you've done an incredible job with this story. The realism you portrayed in the characters the slow but clear loss of Mark into Aiden, his dependence on Joey, his struggle with depression, with convincing himself of the lies, of ... see I have no words. I actually had to stop reading this story at one time because it affected me so much that it gave me nightmares, it depressed me. I actually lost hope that Mark would ever find his way out. I had the feeling that you wouldn't do that to the story but I was afraid that it would and had to stop for myself. I even forced myself not to think about your story at all. However, once I saw that it was complete I could not help myself but read it again and I am glad I did. You have a wonderful talent, and I would have loved to hear more about the case study (I'm a psych major as well). The ending was dignified, realistic, painful and needed.

Thanks for the story and sorry for the ramble (see why I don't usually review?)

Normally I read stuff on this site and my reaction is well that was decent. This story however, was so very realistic and heartfelt it left me in tears. This one should be published it is so well written. My only thing is that it needs to be proof read, but that is relatively minor in the scheme of things. I love a good story and you my friend know how to weave one hell of a tale. Kudos

WOW!! I applaud you and you phenomenal writing. From the first sentence to the last one I was hooked on this story, it was real and mind blowing it was like being the victim (Mark) yourself and going though what he was going thuogh. I just don't have the right words but you did a hell of job on the story and I can't wait to read more of your future stories.Good luck with getting your Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis.

Whoa! What an excellent read!

I love how he's become trained now. Conditioned to want Joey because it's safe, because he's been convinced that it's right. I just want to scream at Mark, tell him-remind him- that he can be safe.

Wow. I read this all afternoon and I have to say, this story is depressing. I don't know how o feel anymore. I don't know what to think. Mark is so fucked up. He stil have that diamond ring aroud his finger. Poor boy...He became so dependent, he started to believe everything, all the lies and his own felings are completely messed up. Gosh...My throat hurts so bad. Mark's state and his longing for Joey du to all that braiwashing was painful to read.
