I guess she is trying to open up about her financial issues.
Honestly, I don't want to hear it. This is what she wanted.
But I know, I need to learn to listen to her and get a line of communication open; other than email or text.
Hermano - this could be a very important moment. Could. Hard to tell from the context. She's learning the reality. So ha-ha-ha and hardee-har-har and mwah-hahaha, right? No, not so much. There are kids involved. What affects her affect them. What affect them affects you. So you have an opportunity to lead now. As @Coach says, to TCB.
Let her look down. Ask her why she looks away. Tell her, "We have to sort this out for the kids' sakes." Lead.
