Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Her 15-year-old says he'll move out if she won't stop smoking.
  • Selfish mom

    I was compelled to write a letter, because I was in a similar situation growing up. From my experience I believe the kid is not being manipulative, the kid is scared for what may happen to the family if she is caught. The kid can not bring friends over because of the mothers habit. And when he finally worked up the courage to tell his mom he couldn't live like this anymore, she gave him the "big fuck off".

    It hurts.
