MLCers are idiots. Totally nuts. Some are nice about it, if you call walking out on your family nice, in that they don't spew venom and blame. I was demonized, which was grim.

It really is a rollercoaster ride, and it is about them, not you or anything you did, except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

MLCers often try and wrong foot the lbs by being oh so reasonable, except that it isn't reasonable to walk out. You do not have to stamp and rage, [although you likely want to at times] but you can say this is not what you want, and not argue.

Your h will rush off into the sunset, and in time it will all come crashing around his ears. Seen it so many times. But it really is their journey.

You sound nice, grounded, and essentially strong. You will be OK but your h won't. Hard to believe now but that is the truth.
