The Other Sister
After graduating from a special education school, a slightly mentally challenged young woman named Carla Tate falls in love with a young man named Daniel McMahon who is also slightly disabled and is attending a polytechnic school. But she must try to escape the intentions of her wealthy, overprotective mother Elizabeth Tate who tries to force her into tennis, high culture, and radical changes of decor in her bedroom, matronly clothing, and other pursuits.
At a social event, Daniel drinks too much and ends up grabbing the microphone and telling everyone at the party about their first time having sexual intercourse, causing Carla to burst into tears. Daniel is banished from the young girl's life. Carla realizes how much she is still in love with Danny, as he does. At Carla's sister's wedding, Danny surprises Carla by showing up and asking Carla to marry him.
Everyone supports their wishes except for Carla's mother who is unsure that this is the right thing to do. Her mother thought Daniel was the first man she met, and she could do better than that. Carla's mother has always been uneasy about Carla doing many things due to her exceptionality. Carla gets angry with her mom and tells her that she is sick of her trying to tell her (Carla) what to do. Carla's sister in turn gets angry at her as well as she tells her mother that she should quit treating Carla as a source of shame. Carla's mother has a change of heart and she shows up at the wedding anyway and in the end supports Carla's decisions and decides to no longer act as if she is ashamed of Carla. Carla was so happy to see her mom at the moment and she realized her mom was just too care about her. She told her not to worry, everything is gonna be fine.

These kind of situations do happen and as a society we must learn how to deal with them in an effective and respectful manner.

What if you did, and they were a close friend to you, would you be over protective because you might think they won't be able to do something correctly?
