Nice to see you've uprighter yourself (again)and have a good grip on what's going on. I'm glad to see you reminded yourself about the ones who are actually closest to us and how they may react when feeling trapped in a box. Sat next to a lady the other night on a flight back from the windy. She is a w2. She had a story to tell about her now h of 10 years and his waw of 18 years past who finally woke up in the last couple of months. 18 years, in the waw mind was compressed into just a few years( in her mind it had not been 18 years), yet a full realization of what she had done and cannot apologize enough for putting the guy through .... for 12 of them (he cut her off 6 years ago). He hung in there for the first five years of MLC and finally couldn't take it anymore, yet she baggered him after the D for years. (The waw antics I understood very well) After hearing that story, I pray none of us ever have to go through that for that long. But at the same time, another real life (lives) story of how long MLC can linger.
