I don't think she had a particular grudge against the mother until she became obsessed with the son. Then she saw the mother as a threat to her relationship.
Why did she become so attached to the high school student? Because she was lonely, desperate and deeply disturbed.
The movie did jump around a bit. For a melodramatic thriller TV movie, it was OK. It has its flaws and it's not groundbreaking or anything, but it sort of worked as standard TV (Lifetime) entertainment.
OK then, guess I'll have to go w/this because movie is nearing the end and I'm still sitting here like WHY? Usually in the formulaic LMN movies a motive is revealed usually having something to do w/the insane perpetrator having been wronged somehow in the past by the victim (victim's familY) or suffering from mommy/daddy issues. None of that was revealed here.
Also, why didn't the teenage girl tell what happened to her in the car? And why was the mother's boyfriend at the crazy lady's house at the end to save them?

I expected Melanie- the teen girl- to go to the police as well but teens are usually not logical with these things and can be too afraid to take action. They're not mature enough to make those decisions.
The mom was at clarissa's house bc clarissa texted her from Mark's phone saying to come pick him up bc clarissa wanted to threaten her with the gun.

I, too, was bothered the entire rest of the movie by the girl apparently not reporting to anyone that she had been attacked and slashed in the face with a knife by a stranger in her car!!! It apparently was so bad that she had to hide her face with her hair afterwards. What did her parents think?? That was just so unbelievable. and at the end she looked fine--as if nothing had happened to her, and it was just a short time later. Argh.
I don't buy that teenagers are just afraid to say anything--this was her face.
