She's a control freak - and getting her to let him out of her range of influence is like pulling hens' teeth. I could tell stories that would curl your toes about what she's done to and with this kid - but she gets away with it because the courts don't want to split up families ... even dysfunctional ones. He only has five more months to stay. As soon as he turns 18, he's coming either here or to my sister's. He'll come with just the clothes on his back, but he'll be out. He's a great kid. It'll be very satisfying to watch him blossom!Does the boys still live at home with his parents?
Maybe he can just come to visit your daughter at your house instead of her going over there...from now on.
