Good luck with the interview. Eric's right, don't bring up your sitch.
Yes, MLCers cycle as do the LBS.
I've heard similar from my H about me being the good one and him being the bad guy in all this. It's all part of the script. All it says it that the MLCer does notice how we conduct ourselves and that they do feel guilt for what they've done.
Sounds like you're starting to emerge. Liked reading more about you and what you're doing and less about your W. Good for you!
