My cousin, who grew up in a way fucked-up household, turned CP when he was about 14. Got sucked into the Assemblies of God church by a friend, and was so desperate for acceptance and guidance that he just ate it up. Told us all how fags are going to hell, Harry Potter is devil worship, and we should kill people who have abortions. In his crazy little world where nothing made sense and he had no guidance from his mom, it felt good to have someone tell him exactly what to think, and to give him boundaries and black-and-white answers.
Then he went to college and got a girlfriend. If it was a choice between his religion and his dick, well....Dick won.
So yeah, CPs can go back again, but it really takes something to persuade them. It sounds like your friend's daughter has some issues with her mom and is using this as a hammer to beat her over the head. Maybe she'll grow out of it, but maybe the lure of righteous judgment is just too much for her.
Sounds like it's time for CP to get her own place where she can make her own rules if she feels like it.
