🗣️ Family Feud: Hearing Loss or 'Selective Hearing'? 🎧
Our teenage heroine's hearing struggles have been dismissed by her mom as 'selective hearing' for years, despite her difficulties in school and social situations. 😔 At a family BBQ, her boyfriend and mom make hurtful comments about her hearing, comparing her to her hearing-impaired grandfather. 👴 Fed up with their insensitivity, she ignores them and focuses on those who show her compassion. 💪 Her uncle, the hero of the story, offers to refer her to a hearing doctor and defends her when her boyfriend accuses her of turning away from those who care. 🦸♂️ The two escape the toxic environment for some much-needed ice cream therapy. 🍦 But the drama doesn't end there - texts flood in, calling them both a-holes for leaving. 📱 The internet has some strong opinions on this family feud - let's see what they have to say! 🌐
