I am trying to learn everything I can. I want to approach his MLC with empathy and understanding, not just anger and intense emotional pain.
We talked briefly last night. I told him that I was sorry that he feels the way he does - that life is no longer exciting, that work is a chore, that life at home is awful. I told him that if I could, I would take all of that on myself instead of him. But this is his work to do, and his crisis.
In retrospect, I think he's been in crisis since early last year when his health really started to be a problem.
