1. I believe she was emotionally abandoned
2. I believe her mother would pick her male partner over her own daughter
3. I believe that step-father is as guilty as the sunrises and sets
4. He would be out of that house whether or not she comes back , gets an annulment or decides mom was right about the mistake of her marriage, STEP Daddy would be long gone.
5. there would be a lie detector test done on the step-father by the F.B.I or the state patrol only! No other organization.
6. I would not allow a lie detector to be done on the daughter... enough, I suspect the mother to be an un-kind woman.
7. It is too late for an annulment, the girl is married to someone who is only 2 years her senior. There should be counseling to keep them together and keep them whole.
8. Her mother would get counseling as to why she protects her "male mate" over her own daughter and is insistent on calling her a liar . No matter what you do not NOT ever take the side of the perp.
9. She needs to get help.. THE MOTHER!
