Because there is a restraining order against her for severe abuse of ET and other kids. The l;ast thing she needs is to be around that woman, IMO.
I don't think the comments indicate that this previously abused, vulnerable, sheltered 15 year old, who was manipulated, groomed and stalked by her teacher, and who voiced fears of him, tried to hide form him and told a sibling to call the police if she wasn't back by 6, and was then taken by her fully armed predator, across state lines, hundreds of miles from her home and family, dependent on him for everything, was fond of her predator.
They may just indicate she did what she had to in order to cope with the situation.
I am open that she has conflicting feelings. I think there's been evidence of that. But what a kid does when in the clutches of a predator, may not indicate anything more than their instinct to survive.
Also, everything I have researched and read about trauma and kids who have been preyed upon sexually by adults does not indicate they are flexible or bounce back at all. It indicates the opposite - they are quite fragile and experience horrible and often life-log negative effects from trauma.
