Just can't leave it alone, but this is how I cope - research, research and more research.

I was so sure it couldn't be MLC again but maybe it is. Maybe he never finished because of his life-altering injury.

I think a clue is his amazing statement while he was packing, when he said to me in sort of an annoyed tone, "I need you to support me in this, can you do that?"

Can I what? support him walking out on me without warning? I didn't support you throughout two years of surgery, hospitalization, taking care of you, even literally wiping your a** for you? The question doesn't even make sense.

That sounds like the old MLC craziness to me. Gosh, he even acted like he was a little pissed that I didn't go get the suitcase for him! Like that was going to happen.

Yeah, it was just like the old MLC comedy routine. And, yes I can support him walking away without hardly a word, since my support requires me to only do nothing.

I can support him all the way thru till the bitter end, because I know he will always wait for me to give up and do the heavy lifting when it comes to a D. Not happening until he does it himself.
