DD18 has been friends with a neighbour's DGD14 just about all her life. DGD didn't have too good a start in life, but her nan has brought her up with love.
BUT: DGD is now getting invitations to parties where it's the birthday boy/girl doing the socialising with parents taking a back seat. Nan is now refusing invites because the host won't be able to pay DGD full attention. DGD is neurotypical if a bit quiet. She can be clingy, but this is only after contact with her worthless mother. DD would like DGD to come to her next birthday (at home, DD cooking) in a couple of months. Attendance is going to be a dozen and then the over18s are going clubbing. Nan has already refused the dinner invitation because DGD can't go clubbing, although there are a couple of younger people who won't be going either. Overprotective, controlling or just sad?
