<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

**I usually lurk pretty hard on Reddit so this is my first post, but my friend is freaking and I didn't know where else to ask for help because she isn't out yet.**

My friend, Ashley and her girlfriend, Jessica, had been dating for a month when Jessica's family moved out of state to be near her college. They've been doing long distance since then, but two days ago Jessica told her parents about the relationship and they got mad because Ashley is a minor. They said they didn't want her dating one, even though Ashley's only six months younger than her.

That night, Jessica got her phone taken and her brother informed Ashley that she was being restricted from using electronics outside of schoolwork (Jessica is living with her parents during college). Then today, Jessica's mom texted Ashley and told her that she should stop sending her messages and that she won't be allowed to talk to her until Jessica moves out and can pay for her on phone, internet access, etc.

Ashley is thinking she should try to talk to her mom and see if they could work something out since the age gap isn't even that big, but the mom is pretty adamant about it. Should she just let it go and move on?
