You probably heard about this almost a year ago, when kidnapping victim Natasha, managed to escape her kidnapper 8 years after her disparition.
There have been many statements about her, first diagnosed with the Stockholm syndrome, (showing loyalty to the kidnaper)but denied it herself calling him a "criminal".
She received a lot of money for all the interviews she has given on tv and newspapers, so her future is already pretty much covered, financially talking, but what if she goes nuts and spend it all. What kind of future is ahead of her? Can she get back to normal life?

I think nothing is normal anymore after the kidnapping it will always follow her around unless she will transfer residency or live in another country where no one recognizes her then maybe she can have the chance to start living her life normally.

I think it's very difficult for anyone who has lived a certain way to break that habit. But it's not impossible, and I have no doubt that she will eventually find a routine that suits her and begin to find her "normality". And anyway, what is normal for one person is completely strange to another. That's the same for most human beings living in different cultures, countries, states or even villages...
I don't mean to make her attrocities seem any less than they were, or trivialise them in anyway, but there are people who suffer everyday for long periods and are able to find themselves again... I remember the motto of my city (Wolverhampton) "Out of darkness cometh light"...
It always brings me hope when things seem hopeless.
