I am no DV expert, but something about this representation doesn't sit well with me. Maybe it is because Mal is actually unhinged and Rowan's concern for her is actually valid - that doesn't mean his actions for control are valid, but his concern definitely is. It makes me question the opening of the book - Mal hiding away to play a mobile game and if Rowan is a control freak obsessed with image - why didn't he react
