The validation was great, but I was also surprised. He usually held it together when we had company.
It also got me thinking though, that if she does tell him to get out, he will most likely move back to NJ. He's now about 13 hr drive time away from me, and I like that. He doesn't know anyone where he lives now.
PS - Percs got flushed. I got them about 2 months ago when my back went out. No, I don't need them for my everyday back pains, that is controllable with OTC pain relievers.
