Its a flawed story based on a flawed premise. We can not know Tommy as can not understand his motives for being the way he was, even he was aware of those reasons himself. The story suggests he was in pain existed in pain because of his father, that pain which no one cared to address, so it festers.

perhaps if she had tried another method, sadly too many insist upon forcing their beliefs upon others, rather than living by their example, the fact that they presented it in a manner of him going to hell for not going to church sort of sucks, and it wasn't the pot that made him go to hell...why is he smoking pot?

perhaps if she had showed more interest in her son than living up to the expectations of the belief that going to church makes a good chrisitian, it would have had a better ending.

she smacks his face and threatens him with bodily harm if he doesn't comply, rather than expressing a desire to spend time with him?

It is a parents job to teach their children how to live, instill the morals and all that. Forcing a child to do something they do not like always has a lesson. Without a parent to first direct them children will never know self disapline or how to create a positive habit, control, knowing what they want and all sorts of other wonders that people take for granted.
All this is very well and good but the suffering caused by his father until it was taken care of would destroy him so no matter what she did his mother would lose.
