another thing bad. most of our friends are mutual friends. i need to find some new friends. another one of the dont's. i don't think going to email MIL either, she quit emailing me in July.
I guess it's common for MLC to trash talk alittle to their family?
What should my family do, that used to talk to her or email her every couple days?
The stages, don't move like they are written. They don't go from one to the other like changing underwear. The bounce like a ball, up and down, anger one second, then depression, the replay, then anger and so on...
Replay contains all the behaviors from excessive spending, new friends, change in maturity level, OP, new behaviors, food stuff, they will try anything and everything to feel better. And they will be angry, and they will be depressed.
If you are looking for a step by step, this is where she is now, I don't think it exists. That is really why it is important for you to take your focus off of her and put it on you.
