What Parents Need to Know

About Crumbs

Parents need to know that Suzanne Crumb has been released from a psychiatric hospital for running over her cheating husband, who is having a baby with a much younger woman. She's dependent on her medication and makes outlandish threats about killing her ex-husband or adopting her own young child. One of her sons is a closeted homosexual and fears his family won't accept him, but he won't accept himself, either. The two brothers fight constantly and exchange insults regularly.
