Matt: I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even think.

Eric: Those are all normal feelings and reactions.

Matt: Not for Mom. She's been so calm about everything, and I just sat there while that piece of junk took all our stuff.

Eric: What do you think you should have done?

Matt: I don't know. Something. Anything but just sitting there and letting some guy rip off Mom's wedding ring.

Eric: You can't blame yourself. Whatever you did, it was perfect. It was perfect because it got you and Mom home safely. And it was just a ring. It wasn't our marriage.
