Not everyone gets MLC, if they knew what sent someone into it there would be better prevention. I think in my W's case she was defined in live as being Mommy, when the kids got older she wasn't needed in that capacity anymore. She had worked so hard to be a good Mom that she lost herself. Dropped her hobbies and interests for the kids things. I guess I still had my job to define who I was, although guys go through it that have jobs also. She looked back and said what if. What if we stopped at 2 kids and she continued to work, would she be an office manager somewhere? hen we had our third child she quit her job and provided daycare for others. She did that for 14yrs. Then she went back to work. She had been a secretary before kids but technology passed her up, from typewriters to computers and windows. I offered to work extra and she could go to school to catch up but she didn't want to.
