Parents should teach daughters, don’t get into a physical confrontation, and don’t provoke one, with a man. He can kill you with one punch.
If he’s got a bad temper, if he’s hearing voices...don’t live in a vehicle with him.
And if he’s controlling — you’ll shrink until you disappear, gradually or suddenly.
I learned about control freaks from a relative who was a virtual hostage for 5 years. She said it was like being wrapped up by a giant spider and chewed on for 5 years.
Some daughters don't listen to parents and some don't listen AND are mentally unstable. I believe this could be a case like that. The parents stay in touch and provide support but the daughter does what she wants. I know of a similar situation locally, some young girls are troubled and as such quite vulnerable.
