Jessie's ex husband cheated on her with a neighbor's daughter (Thelma, Jessie's mother, walked in on this).

Some minor language is uttered.

A character, Jessie, smokes several times and her runaway son is a drug user.

The film contains many tense scenes, involving a daughter and her mother. Suicide is a major topic, brought on by a lifetime of social isolation from many normal activities and inability to improve., e.g. suitable employment.
