Most people thought I did not have a MLC b/c I was too old for one (lol) but I seemed to have the signs. Others thought it was my desire to escape an unhappy home life. Whatever it was......it was the worst thing that ever happened to me and I never want that again.
Hi Sandi,
Age is a common misconception, a crisis is a crisis. My wife is 29. She is near transitional age, She suffered post partum depression, she had a tubal ligation (which along with pregnancy effects body chemistry) we were under a lot of stress due to the fact my mother went into a crisis while my wife was pregnant. My wife also received a major job promotion. (I believe this was due to the fact that work is a major escape for her). These are all triggers.
Yes, In most people's opinions MLC is linked to something in childhood that stunted development. Later in life either during life's transitional points, major life change, or hormonal change it is triggered and forces the person back to finish developing and they struggle with this.
It is a time of unimaginable pain, confusion, and emotions that are out of control. An MLC'er will always place blame on external facters (usually spouse or marriage) instead of looking inward.
