I'm thinking that knowing what your dealing with, either OW or MLC would change the way you react or treat them.
You seem to be confused. There can be an OW in a MLC, usually there is!
Quote:
If its MLC, I think being more friendly and understanding is the move.
Yes but the remedy for both things is detach/NC (go dark), work on yourself , GAL. Friendly and understanding is not lovedovey, R talk. You can be his friend if you choose. But if there is an OW and I stress that there probably is, how understanding are you going to be? I will give you the MLC links. There is a lot to read. This is the resource link:
Now you have all the tools to read. Let us know how your doing and if you have any questions.
Remember that in the stages of MLC it does NOT go 1,2,3,4,5,6 but can get all mixed up and repeat itself and have more than one stage at once. Depression is the key to the whole thing and it is always present!
