I was wondering what you would do if you were held hostage in your own home? If someone broke into your house and held you and your family hostage how would react? How would you save your life and your familys life? Would you try to get away or would you listen to everything they say? I know if I was in this situation I would freak out probaly cry all night long but try my best to save my familys and my life by doing whatever they told me to.

I think I would do as I'm told, due to the Children, I wouldn't put their lives in danger, My Partner on the other hand probably wouldn't be able to help himself. I would like to think he would for the childrens sake.

I have a really big puppy outside that would rip their heads off if they ever came into our house. Not to mention the one in the house. And of course we can't forget the ankle bitters, even though they probably would not do much damage they would still try their little hearts out to protect us. There is nothing like a good guard dog to keep us safe.

I am not sure in a situation of danger, we react differently then our brains ( and heart) normally tell us to react. But, as a guess I would probably do the same item you said. I would do as I was told, because life must be cherished. But then again also, at least when I die I would be in a better place. So that is a coin flip. As I said before your brain would react differently, and in a panic attack, so I may even do something stupid like kick in all my adrenaline and go into "kick-butt" mode.
