Doing hard time on the MLC chain gang.

[C-Bart]

I was wondering about the process of coming back to reality. Using myself as an example. Even though I wouldn't classify my previous state as MLC, not even really depressed, but lets just say I was lost. The only thing that allowed me to grow was the desperation of my family being shatter. Is that the same for a some who is in a MLC.

Not necessarily the family thing as many MLC see that as a reason for their unhappiness. But do they have to go through a life changing event to change.
