N/S Mom walks out on college recruit

You should always be willing to tell your close family the truth if you think that they are making a bad choice.

But you keep that in-house. No need to humiliate your son, even if you do think that he's making a huge mistake.

I share the OP's caveats about not knowing all the details, but this woman reminds me of other parents I know--it has to be all about them all the time. Biggest day of your son's life? Just another day for you to make a big scene.
