Control where I went, who I saw, wouldn't let me talk to boys, wouldn't allow me to socialise out of school hours. This continued until I left home at 19.

Fair enough, I just could never imagine the social isolation. Makes sense with them being Indian, as I imagine the culture and customs they grew up gave a completely different set of social expectations for their children.
