Sounds like she is a little confused, Many Thai's live at home, till they get married, where many Americans live independently not long after leaving school. I think the problem is she learnt to much of the the Thai ways and has not adapted to the American way of life, that her mother has adapted to, as the mother has an American husband.
All you can do is be her friend and supportive. You just need to explain to her this is just the American way, and her mother still loves her.
