I think you maybe right here.
From my own experience I tend to be more protective of friends, and family with disabilities than I am of those without. Add into the mix a child, a female child at that, and you have over protective parents.
One thing that was missed by the OP in the barrage of questions was, when did he controlling behaviour start?
I think that may be a key as well.
Then again, I'm some random jagoff on the internet, what do I know?
