Sandi,My MLC lasted 2 1/2 years. Came out totally at 42 1/2. Thats part of the reason I have been DB'ing and giving her space because I know it takes time. I was so out of it much of the time I couldn't tell you everything she did, but I felt she gave me the space even though she didn't understand what was happening. I read a lot of meditation/help books which allowed me to look inside myself and get through it. She does not want to look inward but is projecting everything outward. Me, kids, family and just wants to do her own thing. She is rewriting history quite easily or so it seems.
