Cinders - since you asked! My h had career problems about 7/8 years ago. Nearly 5 years ago he became very depressed, but wouldnt talk about it. Four years ago he had a fairly serious illness, and my mother, at the same time, had a series of strokes that eventually led to her death [h was close to my mother]. Almost 3 years ago January 05 my mother died [after being terminally ill for a year]
July 05 h starts behaving very erratically with everyone. Early October 05 bomb. So I would say it has been coming on for eight years, and I was 'carrying' him from his illness in December 03 until July 05 - cheering him up and cossetting him along.
He has been in full blown MLC since July 2005, IMO. And he is getting worse!
