Some clarifications. The grandmother said she was a psychopath. I confused the terms. The granddaughter can be very charming and sociable. While nothing was said about parental abuse, I do remember her saying the mother was so controlling from a very early age of their granddaughter. Whenever the grandparents visited, she would simply not allow them to take their granddaughter off by themselves, as she always insisted on coming along. I can imagine that was not the best for the granddaughter.
