I hope your son doesn't say these things to her. I know he's blowing off steam and I don't blame her, but it's this kind of stuff that will make it hard for her to forgive herself and build her self esteem when this is all over. I know it's a little thing, but it would matter a great deal to me if the kids thought I didn't do grocery shopping well.
He doesn't say anything to her. He's afraid she will get mad at him if he says anything like that to her. She started smoking when this whole thing started. She hid it well for 2 years but it's really picked up over the past year. She doesn't know that kids knows she smokes. They won't say anything because they've seen her anger and they walk on eggshells around her.
