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...

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?
Here are links to some of happy_again's threads where he posts about his MLC experience... he could be rather loutish but also effective in getting his point across.
thanks Lance - but there were threads he wrote in 2006, when he was still very much in his MLC, poke with anger etc... the top one was the first I think...
The threads "I am still running in the other direction" and "maybe...." - mentioned above? They vanished
I think you are right. There are posts back to 2006 but not with those threads. Maybe they were deleted in the board scrubbing. I really don't know nor do I understand the board mechanics here enough. You would have to ask a moderator.
If you click on Happy's name you can show all the posts currently on the board.
Many of the older postings have been deleted because the server could not maintain all of them and continue to store the more current ones. Posters were warned that this would happen and many gave their blessings to having their threads deleted.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
FWIW I have several of happy_again's posts from 2006 and 2007 in pdf format. If those are the ones missing from the boards I'd be happy to post them somewhere if someone can tell me how to do it.
