Yes, thanks,.....the interaction was good. I am sending XH a thank you e-mail.
I find myself questioning whether XH's basic issues can improve. Don't know if he would be willing to go to IC. When he left he said "I don't know why I don't want to go to MC and I don't know if I will ever know why".
There is much more mental illness in XH's family than I knew about when we fell in love. His mother is a recovering alcoholic and a hoarder (recently this has been attributed to OCD although I think the jury is still out) and his sister has been depressed for 20 years. XH acted REALLY manic when he left.............and in retrospect I question whether XH may have been in a manic phase when we first met. He has never been diagnosed with mental illness and currently he is acting very normally. I have some concern that this may be an issue for him and can't help but wonder if this might rear its ugly head in the future...........I suppose that honest communication is key to sorting this out........but I am confused. From others' posts it sounds as though when piecing begins it takes a fairly long time before the LBS can begin to communicate honestly with the WAS, so I have some concern about these issues lingering if reconciliation occurs.
Does anyone else think that when their WAS dropped the bomb that they acted manic? Is this typical MLC behavior?
