It is with mixed thoughts that I saw your post. Thanks for bringing out some very fondly familiar names. It must be so hard to see the X and the proof of his MLC on a daily basis. My heart goes out to you.
I think under the circumstances you are doing incredibly well and I'm extremely happy for you in that area, along with all the others posting about their new life journey. I hope you continue to distance from his drama and that in time your son will find that he has done the same.
My sons are both over 21 and the youngest continues to live with me for now, after going through his own meltdown after the D. He would never say one had to do with the other, but I see so much and understand so much that he is too young to catch. He is a work in progress and slowly moving on just as we've all learned to do. It takes time, and I pray your son makes many positive steps soon.
As for the blushing X, I think MLCers have many behaviors in common with infants and that includes making funny faces when they realize they've soiled themselves. Your X sounds very messy indeed!
You didn't mention how a possible move for X would affect you at work. Will it have any impact on your job, other than being free to go work without running into the messy remains of MLC?
Prayers and best wishes to you and your son ...
Warmest wishes to all that have posted their support ...
