I forgot to mention, the one thing H said I could do to help him right now: H wants a better TV for his rented room (he was supplied with one there, but the visuals are not right - it is blurry). No problem, we have 3 in the garage all in good working condition, plus 2 in the house and I'm hardly watching TV at all any more. I try not to cringe, he seems so low. God bless him, I guess there are worse forms of self-medicating.
There's a part of me that doesn't want him to get too comfortable there... so he'll miss home? But he's perfectly capable of buying a TV and it seems he'd rather not invest too much in being there so I guess that's better than some of the alternative scenarios?
