His parents are making this even harder. They took his cell phone cuz it was in his dads name so he can't call me (even tho he went to get another one to talk to me), and they don't let him drive anywhere...they even drive him to work!!! cuz they found out we were talking after work on a regular basis.
These are control tactics. They were used on me. My dad was always threatening to take my car away from me, because it was insured under his name. He would take it out whenever he wanted, and leave me with his crappy car. He gave me shit for driving it around so much when I got into an accident.
Here's another one: when my mother went away on a one week trip, I was spending it all with my girlfriend (who had a baby). When my dad found out that she had a baby, he made me spend the rest of the week with my aunt, so I wouldn't see or talk to her.
Third one: When I was 20 years old, and spending lots of time at my girlfriend's house, he made me pay rent and gave me an ungodly curfew. When I refused to obey and moved out, he wouldn't let me take my guitar amp, which I paid for with my own money. I came by one day to pick it up, and he threatened to hit me if I tried to take it.
In my opinion, you have to let him figure everything out for himself. He'll either continue to let himself be subjected to this behavior, or he'll do whatever he can to get out of that situation. The WTS puts people under their control, and these people have trouble getting away from any type of control tactics since they're accustomed to it.
I've been through it all. It wasn't easy. I had to do it all on my own.
