My 20 year old daughter has been in a relationship with a much older man for a few months and it has started to become apparent that his conduct towards her is coercive/controlling.As is normal in these relationships, he is isolating her from her family. All the other red flags are there (financial abuse, checking her Whatsapp messages; lovebombing her etc etc). I'm very scared, and worried about what might happen.
Does anyone have any links to resources or know of other places where I could get help? Ideally I need something that explains in a careful way to her what a coercive controlling relationship is, as if it's too obvious she'll accuse me of interfering. Of course as it's her first 'big love' she thinks that she has to preserve the relationship at all costs, but she doesn't know what a normal relationship is!
Any thoughts?
