New Year, New Life (19 months)

I had discussions with my IC aabout what to say to people who didn't know about our situation. We decided on "he walked out" and to leave it at that unless they and I needed/wanted to go further.

I was pretty annoyed that H didn't tell anyone that he left, it just all seemed to get left to me which I felt was unfair but really in hindsight what did I expect. At the time he was running away from everything.

Mostly I just didn't want him to be saying anything that implied it was a mutual decision. Because it wasn't and I didn't think it was right for that message to be out there. I absolutely totally agree with NLW at the top of this page - two things - firstly wouldn't it be better if the idea of MLC was more known? might help people get help? and secondly I just don't think its OK for society to accept as "normal" or Ok for people to up and walk away from their responsibilities.
