I just gave her my suggestions, the same thing you did.
It seemed like you were describing minimal support.
I think it's great that her son has such a close relationship with her that he would tell her when something is bothering him like htat.
Well, my parents never supported me when I was in school. They never came to one game and I had to quit basketball eventually because they wouldn't buy the basketball shoes for it. They didn't help out with prom when I asked, nothing. They didn't even go to the prom-walk in. Mom was even a stay-at-home mom. And dad felt like drinking beer and watching tv was more importnant I guess. I fully intend to support everything that is important to my son unlike how I was raised.
But we can agree to disagree. In the end she will do whatever she wants and hopefully her son will be able to play on the team.
