Some questions here
This part of the letter says it all
" A few months ago, the latest flare-up turned into the full-blown crisis I knew might one day come. When he was sorting the laundry, the son discovered a pipe, in-your-face evidence that Mom still smokes and brings the stuff (or at least the paraphernalia) in the house. He threatened to leave. The dad, laid up recovering from foot surgery, told the mom to leave for a few days, to give some space and to come back with some ideas about how to make things better."
The kid "finds" a pipe while sorting laundry(more likely going though Mom's purse or underwear drawer) So kid confronts Mom with the ultimatum that she quit or he will leave, apparently that does not get him what he wants so he goes to Daddy and whines and threatens and bingo results Dad tells Mom to leave for a few days, what is wrong with this picture? Kid just pulled the ultimate divide and conquer. Dad does not support Mom in the slightest nor do either of them care all too much that pot helps alleviate pain, no they would rather have her on Oxy or something similar, maybe in a more drugged state she would be more amendable to their demands and less able to have her own life.
