I think MLC means EXACTLY what you laid out. Everyone has all or at least most of these stressors in their life. Lots of people hanlde them without blowing-up their world. I guess MLC can happen anytime, but maybe it is associated more often with mid-life because that is when these stressors really begin to build? Mortgages get bigger, kids are growing up, relationships are maturing. That can happen anytime depending upon ones life choices, but mid-life is maybe when things are most stressful? Anyway....
You are right, I sometimes have a tendency to wallow in self-pity and that is definitely NOT healthy. I generally am happy these days and I am trying to plan and do things for me and with my kids. I just WISH things were different.
Thanks for keeping-up with me and please don't hesitate to hit me in the head when I need it.
