Hang in there SD. A couple of thoughts occur to me off the cuff:
First, this frustrated, not knowing what he wants, wandering off in a destructive and aimless direction, selfish attitude - man, that just reeks of MLC to me. Do ya think? Does HE recognize it as such?
Second, in the context of MLC, maybe his saying "I want to quit" is a lot like when my W said "I'm moving out in a month." He may really mean it at the time - but possibly that's his confusion venting and not what he is really going to do. I know with my W, venting these crazy half-baked plans was a LOT different than actually "pulling the trigger."
In that case, would taking an approach similar to what I said to W be a workable approach - something like "You do what you gotta do, but don't expect me to be happy about it or to lift one finger to help you make it happen."
