i think the "elephant" may refer to the idiom "there's an elephant in the living room", which is a way of saying there's something out of ordinary going on but no one will acknowledge it. it often relates to abuse or alcoholism within a family, but i think here it may have to do with the fact that she wants to leave and her parents have known this but they thought she never would. i can completely relate.
