Not sure how to do this quote thing, Cat, but just had to put up this list of MLC symptoms again.So damned accurate!

On the 5 year old with Mother thing(and yup, my H has an uber controlling mother too-I noticed H buying himself the types of foods that were popular when he was growing up-particular types of biscuits(cookies, to you), tinned fruit, bread, breakfast cereal that they would have eaten when he was growing up!
real regression stuff.

Hey Mach wonder if your W was buying the types of make up, cheap perfume her new gfs are going for?Or stuff she used to wear when she was younger?

As for change of friends/friend abandonment thing... H has truly isolated himself. No one calls here looking for him, he says he deliberately avoids people. On the other hand he changed job to working in a much younger office maybe six years ago.That marked a downward spiral IMHO as he was fascinated by all the talk about spas, make up, brazilian waxes, nights out that the young crowd were into.

Like you Cat, I confronted OW. In H`s office. Yeah, I got a kick outta that-I was waaayyy stuck in anger mode then. Wouldn`t be rushing off to do that again. In fact I`ve dropped the anger thing anyhow. Way too draining on me. Way too destructive for all of us.

Been to FL four times Cat!Loved Merritt Island, the state parks, Cape Canaveral,the beaches, the shopping, the heat!

Ok maybe there`s an FL connection with MLC.... Something in the water, perhaps?!

Glad you`re doing so well, girl!
