I'm trying so hard to see a positive side to this and I thank you for your concern and encouragement.
There didn't seem to be any limits to H's MLC. Even when he began slipping into the pit, he clung to the edge like a man possessed. He's still hanging on, as far as I know, refusing to hit bottom.
There's no action without a consequence, and H should have expected to have to pay the price at some point. The "bills" are arriving all at once now, and hitting H hard. He was convicted of a felony last month and placed on two years probation. He was ordered into alcohol rehab. He also lost his job and hasn't worked for over a month.
I'm a little scared that when he receives the contempt of court charge, it will push him over the edge. OTOH, maybe it's the push he needs to hit bottom.
