[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD, age 18, has had a boyfriend for two years. He has some social anxieties so they just hang out together, the two of them. When she wants to see a girlfriend he gets very upset and says he could find another girlfriend, easily, if she doesn't want to be with him. 
She has avoided going to parties because the boyfriend wouldn't like her to go. 
Etc. 
I'm trying to peel her away from him but they want to spend every non-school moment together. [/quote]

HUGE red flags. I had a good friend like this in HS. They were married shortly after HS and I remember going to her house with friends (we were all going out as we were in our 20s and not married). He told her "if you leave with them, don't come back." She stayed with him a long time before finally divorcing (like 20 years), after he had been cheating on her. He kept her home while he did as he pleased.

I'd have some very frank conversations that you're concerned. How does she feel when he does this? Maybe see if you can get her to speak to someone.

Def encourage college and separation.

That sort of manipulation and control is NOT normal or good.[/quote]
