Keep in mind the A isn't probably a whole lot of fun either. It is used as an escape from reality. It's not that it necessarily makes them feel good but it makes them feel not as crappy. Does that make sense? It temporarily numbs the pain of depression. That's what the MLCer's use the replay activities for.
Try not to analyze the stages at this point. I find myself doing it from time to time also.
I think that is the hardest part for me. Knowing my wife suffers with so much pain and I have to just sit back and watch it happen. She doesn't even want to be my friend right now so I have to let her go and hope one day she will return.
