Sounds like she has some serious issues with her parents and as much as you'd like to help, they're her issues to sort out. If you stepped in you'd be just another daddy figure protecting her or telling her what to do. It's one thing to step in if it's getting violent, which it doesn't sound like it was, exactly. But it sounds like what's needed here is for you to say to her that it's clear that she has issues with her parents and you're there to support her however she deals with them. She sounds like she needs to develop what's called "a backbone" and either accept the rules that come with living with her parents, or move out and be independent.
