Hello, our DD 18 has got involved in what looks to be a pretty bad situation and cut off friends, family etc for parter that she’s run off to be with.
she is in touch with her brother, DB15, when it suits her - she recently decided she was no contact with us and arranged to see him a few days later.
weve been advised that her actions ( how she left etc) suggest that she’s in a very controlling relationship and I need to explain coercion to DB15. Apparently there is a strong chance that once he’s 16 her and her partner will ramp up the attention and attempt to divide us.
of course he shuts down at any mention of his sister.
can anyone please suggest how I can explain such a complicated subject- without suggesting I disapprove of his sister in anyway? Maybe someone has a good you tube or website link?
many many thanks
