Re: Friend is Controlled By Her Parents? -

Hey,
It's great that you want to support your friend but until she is willing to take steps to get away from her parents or insert her wants and desire there isn't a lot you can do. I think that you can definitely be there to support her and maybe when she brings things up to you about her parents you could try and encourage her to speak up for herself or get away. But, you can't force her to get away from them even though you know it would probably be better for her.
You could always try and have a conversation with her about some of the things you have witnessed and the things that concern you about her parents. However, there is always a chance that this will not go well and you have to weigh the pros and cons of talking to her about it.
What are some things you would like to do to help your friend? I think there are little things you could do but in the long run she has to make the decision to get out, get a job and speak up for herself.
Best of luck.
