i had a co-worker, in a former job that she was dating someone 17years her senior, she was only 28-29 at the time. the mom of course was pissed, because she said he was almost as old as she is. i thought it was wierd too, but being her friend at the time, she also had things going at home too, asian family.(i felt she would be better off moving out and living witht he 40+ something, than with her control freak mom.
I could see her wanting to escape a situation like that. Her mom had a point though. I wouldn't date someone who was my child's age, but that is just me.
Its not a binary choice though, given there are millions of partner options out there for a 28yo lady. Its not just option a) 46 year old man, option b) stay at crappy home situation. Both situations can be crap at once, sounds like she just went from one power imbalance to another.
