Yeah, the more I am reading about MLC, the more I think that is what it is. Unfortunately, I did not help matters. It seems as though, I almost enabled this situation with my dependent behavior. It is a depressing thought.
You are right, they are just papers........but reading them just solidified the reality last night. I think you are right though. If at this point I am to have any chance, I just have to see them as papers and hope for the best.
And try to improve that part of me that would be most helpful for both of us...in the long run. In a way, being as independent as possible helps me the most, in case he does not stick around........and if in that process he actually comes back to me....I guess that is just icing on the cake. I cannot control what he does or how he will see me or our situation.
