No, it was a picture of the house where he and his family were happy. I think they were on vacation there, and he and the boy went fishing. The painting was crappy, it was exactly the sort of thing tourists buy for a couple of bucks from street vendors. He went back to that house in the hallucinations.

O gosh, kittenblue, that’s terrible. I hope your ex gets better.
