Broken, I don"t post that often but I was an MLC'er who made it to the other side as you call it. I did denial with depression, anger/depression, replay/depression, withdrawal depression and finally acceptance. It was pure H--- goin through MLC. Emotional pain everyday you woke up asking yourself why, when will it end. Getting through the day took every ounce of strength I could muster.
I felt like I was taken over by an alien. Looking into the mirror and seeing nothing. You are so into yourself just trying anything to get out of the fog/funk/cess pool of pain anger resentment. You will do anything that might make you feel better.
I don't want to scare anybody but it is the worst event ever by far in my life.
The ironic part is if you get through it and if your in MLC you will realize that you did get through it, it is a beautiful feeling. It's almost like you have new eyes and see many things clearly. A sense of peace comes into your life. The downside and this is my opinion not a lot of people really make it through the whole way.
I have empathy for people going through MLC bacause it is painful. I am in a good place personally but have an MLC wife now. I don't know what my journey holds but life is a journey.
