I talked with my DB (the father of sick DS) today. Can't remember if I told this, but he left his disfunctional wife/grown kids/delinquent grandchildren 2 weeks ago and relocated to FL. He has a close cousin, future job and a chance to recuperate there. I could hardly believe how well he sounded and how good he reported his health had become. When I saw him last summer, he was bone thin and weak, now he's walking 2 miles each day. Seems he looked ahead, figured he had another 15-20 years and decided he did not want to live them the way he was going. Today he was on the road to Gainesville to spend 2 weeks with another cousin until his rental home is ready. I was concerned that I might find him back in IL in the toxic environment, but he said no way. His DS will have exploratory surgery next Weds. Once the treatment plan is decided, DB wants to move his DS to FL for treatment. Any recommendations for treatment centers from ladies in that area?

BTW - I told him that sometimes running away from home is the only solution.

Oh yes - he says the door is open for me to visit any time. Now I KNOW where I'm going next Winter - LOL
