Thanks guys. I won't know for a while.... but will let you know whats going on when I do.

His mom is a single mother. Father is in jail for something (they won't tell us) and will be there for a long long time to come. The gradnparents live with them, but grandpa is in failing health, and grandmom wants nothing to do with them. Short story: Grandmom ran out on the mother when she was really little. When the mother grew up, she searched for the grandmom and found her. The grandmom STILL didn't want anything to do with the mom. Years passed and the grandmom found herself homeless, so the mom took in her mother - even after all those years where she ran from her. The grandmom STILL would run if not for the fact that she's living for free with the daughter she never wanted. I'd say the boyfriend's mom is an amazing woman for having a heart willing to open itself to a woman who repeatedly walked away.
