Wife in Major MLC...Looking to Vent

[bombardier50]

Sleeper, agree with you about counseling. I'm almost certain that the reason we're going is to "fix me". And as far as the counselor figuring out what's going on...hell, my 28 year old next door neighbor had it pegged before I did. She even used the words MLC before I even considered the possibility. So if the counselor doesn't catch on...

Thing is, I'm convinced that she'll do the same thing as your W if she's confronted. In fact, I'm wondering if that might be the best outcome. She quits MC, which won't do her much good now anyway...and I continue. In her mind, I'm working on "fixing me", when in reality, I'm getting some help and support during the worst time of my life. That's probably as close to a win-win as I'll probably get in this situation.

By the way, thank you for that optimistic little line at the end. I really needed that. Deep down, I miss her horribly, and I know it could be better than before. Twenty years in the military...I can be one patient m*therf*cker.
