TJP. I'm so very sorry that you are going through this, but you have come to the right place. There are plenty of folks here that are, or have gone through the same thing, and we're ready to help you.
My thoughts:
It probably is a MLC, which means this will take him quite a while to get through. The good news is YOU will be doing fine long before he is.
No more telling him he's in MLC. This won't help.
Take care of yourself first. I know how hard it is to let him go after all these years of being a committed team, but this is your new task.
Keep posting!
