You are right Penny - he does have all the symptoms of a MLC, which means that no matter how well you DB, he's got a long road of recovery ahead of him.
You are doing all the right things. The comment you made to 2940 about how giving advice to her, validated to you all the things you need to do is SO true. I think that is how we do most of our learning around here - by noticing the things others are doing 'wrong' and then reflecting on how that relates to us and our situations.
Have you read through the resources in the MLC board. I think you'll find some useful stuff there to help you through this time.
You are so strong and you are doing really well. It is actually a good sign that he came home yesterday - many MLC men just wouldn't have done that - he obviously has some stong connection to you that isn't broken.
Take care, V
