Cyrena said: My experience of an MLC man was that he was obsessed with what everybody else had and was earning (and blamed himself for failing) and saw his kids and W as a liability which had partly put him in that position. He was ADAMANT he'd try to hide money before he gave us anything. Post-MLC ... he's furious with anyone who rips off his family in that way. In other words, consult with a L, know your rights, but don't tip him off to that yet.
This seems a very wise warning about the grave flip-flopping.
