Well I am Lola and I have been over on the separated board for quite a while.
In the research I have done, and people I have spoken with, I am slowly realizing my H is probably in the middle of a MLC, although he is only 36.
My H is former German Air Force, Special Ops, and was in the midst of war where he saw horrible things. He has only told me of a few, but I also know that he never confided any of this in anyone else.
At any rate, to ask a question, does anyone know if there is a correlation between an MLC and PTSD? I am going to start doing some research, but he exhibits behaviors of both of these illnesses.
Thanks for any input...
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
Have not much time to post now, but I would suggest "yes".
There was a poster here, whose husband was posted in Afghanistan, and had PTSD. As MLC is down to depression.
Her marriage went to the wire, he actually found this site and posted his venom here, I am pleased to report that at the last minute he woke up and they are well on their way to recovery. Her last statement to me was "it was as though this all never happened"
I just wanted to say that as MLC research indicated truamatic childhood issues that are surfacing, I would probably think that PTSD is a good possibility. Also believe it or not as our life span is roughly 70 years, 36 is midlife.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
Smurf, that would be wonderful. And Kel, thanks. I guess I didn't think of it that way. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Any information would be appreciated as well!!

Smurf, you wrote the midlife crisis journey? A friend forwarded that to me last night...
If so, it read like it was written for my H...that is what finally convinced me this is what we are going through...

Well at some point, I realized through all of this my H is suffering an MLC, and came over here to get some information. I have been ghosting the board for a while, but I mostly posted over in separated because I didn't think my H was old enough for an MLC. Of course, now I know different, because the things I hear, the words out of his mouth, are very cliche.
I will probably post more about my sitch but right now I am just trying to absorb all of this. I have been looking for answers for such a long time and now that they are staring me in the face, they are a little hard to swallow. So I am not sure where to begin.
But on the other hand, man does it make sense.

Old enough? a crisis is a crisis. look at my w, she shows soooo many signs of mlc. I do believe it has to do with untreated post partum, but hey you know the saying, if it looks like a duck...
I know how ya feel I went so many months scratching my head trying to figure this out. I lurked in the WA forums for along time. I got bored one day and started checking out mlc and BOOM! everything fit.
