Sure, you are good at posting!:) It helps to hear from someone who is going through the same stuff.
It is hard to say how long he has been in MLC. I think probably going close to a year now, with the self doubts, etc. He didn't share much with me about it until about Thanksgiving. Then around the first of the year is when he started in with the anger, first directed at himself, everything around him, and then of course me. The bomb was about three months ago and he has been sleeping in the basement since. The crazy behavior started now looking back quite slowly maybe around Thanksgiving-ish with the dying of hair and starting to buy the new clothes.
He is around home today and the kids aren't home currently and he is a bear. I am ignoring him. HOWEVER, he is out back working in the yard for the second afternoon and he has done pretty much absolutely NOTHING around the house for months so I don't know if this is a good sign or not.
How are things between you and your H now?
I would love any advice people have - this is such a tough thing. It is harder to GAL with the kids. I am trying to get out more with them this summer but I work at home and have to do that, too. And I pretty much always have to do things with the kids which is fine. I have definitely found a newfound appreciation for them through all of this. They ground me now.
