Help needed for a friend

She can get a copy of her birth certificate quite easily and once she has that she can get passport and bank account sorted. Also post can be sent to a friends address which she can collect. She needs to speak to staff at university who can help her become independent from her parents. The more she does for herself, the stronger she will feel when it comes to confronting her parents. Perhaps a member of her family ( aunt, uncle etc..) could speak to her parents and find out why they are so controlling?
 
My ex Gf's parents were like this, after 8 months it became too much for me, and we ultimately broke up.
Reading this thread however, it must have been hell for her, same as it must be hell for your friend and I hope she's able to get things sorted.
 
Whatever happened to just standing up for yourself?

"You're not having them"

"Err, they're mine?" *Takes 'them'*

Strictness is only an issue if you let it intimidate you, if they resort to physical aggression, then, well, they aren't worth wasting time with, parents or not. Sounds like a form of abuse to me.
 
Are we hearing the full story here? Has she done something to warrant this kind of behavior from her parents? Or, as suggested above, are they being the stereotypical strict Asian parents?
