Yes, Mike, I get it. Thank you for making that point. I truly don't mean to come off as disapproving. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to handle what seems to be an incredibly complex situation.
Because each country has different laws, her situation is probably one that none of us have been in. But I do know what it is like to feel powerless, and then slowly get my power back by rebuilding a life of my own. I think it comes down to power: who we give it away to (unwittingly), and how we get it back. The legal system is part of the remedy, but sometimes it just isn't set up to protect people from some kinds of abuse in an efficient or timely manner.
