Renee, I have my doubts as to weather MLC is an illness. I know that I am in the minority opinion here, but I really question it. I think people grow tired of thier life and take off to get another one. I do believe that people think they have "missed out" and they end up making fools of themselves, but I don't think its an illness. Anyway, Renee, you must move forward with your life and rebuild it. Please don't sit around and wait for him to "snap out of it" For if you do, you will be alone.
