Hi there, I am not 100% certain that i have done it correctly but the address below is the link i have in my MLC folder (!!) for the stages of MLC - it is by Hearts Blessing and is quite long but totally worth reading.
Reading up on depression has helped me enormously - that is how I view my husband when he starts any of his antics - he is a man that is ill but manages to cover it up quite well a lot of the time to a lot of people. Whilst he still looks at me with those dead fish eyes he's still in a dark place and I need to treat him with love and compassion.
I hope this helps as you grapple with the landscape which is MLC.
