battered throuple syndrome

Battered throuple syndrome is essentially Stockholm syndrome without the kidnapping. Typically BTS experienced by elder people. Sometimes occurs when a spouse dies and they latch onto another couple. The relationship of the three experiences feelings of love, attachment, trapped, and anxiety. Anxiety is often felt when separated from one or two. Trapped is experienced when one wants space from the two but they can not leave. They can run to the grocery store but they must return. Once one experiences BTS one can not escape.
