And MLC will test every little bit of endurance you think you have. The pain does make it hard. If I ever allow myself to think about how not fair it is, how I don't understand how this wonderful guy I was married to for so long could hurt me so much, how much it affects the kids it can drive me crazy and puts me in a bad place. It is hard to push those thoughts out sometimes, though.
And, as far as what I have read of other MLCs on here, I think my H's is on the milder side, yet it is still taking way longer than I would have thought. It truly does move at a snail's pace (and some are even slower than that!).
