Lou Ann is divorced from her husband, Angel. In some way she blames herself, and she hide the break up from her mother and grandmother. Angel left her with their son, and is a jerk most of the time. He does help Lou Ann deceive her family when they come up to visit, but when her mother and grandmother leaver her with a bottled water to baptise the baby in, Angel pours it down the sink. Not only was the baptism of his child no longer his concern because he walked out, but it had sentimental value as well because it was the same water that Lou Ann was baptised in.
At one point Lou Ann gets upset because a man asks her if she saw his son on the television and Lou Ann has to say no, and explain that her husband took the television too. I would tell her that it wasn't her fault that it ended. I would also tell her that she should stop reading all those magazines for guidance on how marriage and life should be. Life isn't perfect. Angel had a previous accident that injured him and damaged their relationship. She blames herself for a lot of things and she needs to let some of it go. Not everything is perfect, and you can't control everything.
Also, she should have told her mother the truth. It might be hard and she might not approve, but getting caught in a web of lies can be hard to keep up with. Without a support system she gets harder on herself. Taylor tries to help her, but there isn't much she can say but, "I'm sorry." and some of her mothers hog quotes.

I agree with you Mackenzie that Angel should not have just dumped that water down the sink, but i think it's almost as bad that Lou Ann's grandmother was being quite controlling trying to push Catholicism on Lou Ann.
you said Lou Ann's mother might not approve of her separation from Angel. It seemed to me that she was more afraid of what her grandmother would think. That woman seems so grumpy!
