Posting for advice here.
A young colleague (22) has told me that her DM is very controlling. Colleague is still studying in a specialised area which I won't identify so as not to 'out' her (or myself).
DM moved her out of halls to stop colleague staying with her BF. She phones her several times a day and sends abusive texts if colleagues answer isn't prompt enough - even if colleague is in classes.
Last week, colleague was told she had to get a flight for a meeting her DM had set up. Colleague said she didn't want to go because of her extremely heavy workload here. Cue more abuse from DM. Situation culminated in DM and DF turning up and physically forcing colleague into car to go to airport and meeting. Colleague says that DM's sister also texts abuse to her for being selfish when she tries to resists DM's bullying. There are dozens more examples of events like these.
I want to try and guide colleague towards some sort of help / counselling, but I have no idea where to go / what to do. Hope somebody can help?
