Mom Drops Truth Bomb: Daughter Hates Friend’s Son

We all know that navigating teenage relationships can be a minefield, but what happens when a protective mom has to step in and defend her autistic daughter against her own friend? Melody, a 14-year-old girl with autism, finds herself in the middle of a love triangle that she wants no part of. Her mom’s friend Polly has a son, Tobey, who has a crush on Melody, but the feeling is far from mutual. When things escalate, Melody’s mom has to make a tough decision that could jeopardize her friendship with Polly. ‍
