Why does the MLCer suddenly mistrust the whole professional world as well as themselves.
'Cause they're freaking nuts, that's why!? Suddenly, everything they held to be true and desirable becomes poison to them. They become paranoic, thinking everyone is out to get them. Unfortunately, the only people out to get them, are the one's they turn to for fun, and 'love'... i.e. their so-called 'soulmates' the OW, and new 'friends', who often quickly desert our poor MLC'er when the money runs out, or they emerge from the nightmare and realise what they've lost and become depressed, and not so fun anymore.
Mandyloo, I am so pleased you and your son are out of the whole drama. Who knows when your XH will wake up, or if he ever will. There is nothing worse then a fool, then a fool who remains in perpetual ignorance, but perhaps these MLCers deliberately do that, because they don't want to face the person they have become.
Take care, and enjoy your new digs.
