The final stages...withdrawal to acceptance

[Upside]

There was a poster from a few years back that had gone through his own MLC. He had several names...finally_free, happy_again and happyincognito.

Here is one posting where he spoke about his withdrawal...

Was there ever a time when you completely withdrew from your W and had not contact for a long period of time?

I think I went about 3 months at one point but i drove by the house a few times and once parked outside the kids school to see them playing outside. you must understand that it wasnt because i didnt love my family or want them i was just so mixed up in my head that each time i went to visit them i would leave feeling so much guilt and anger at myself and the situation.i did think about them dozens of times a day.each time i was out i would see something that reminded me of them a song on the radio Allies favorite coffee or something for one of the kids.there were times when I would call home and if there was a tone in her voice I would take it as her having an attitude and I would berate her and yell at her for making me feel like [censored]. now tell me who in their right mind does that to someone they love?
