The thing to remember Raine, is that what you see is like the tip of the iceberg. You see a small part of what's going on in his head and heart.

If he didn't tell you that he truly needed your help, how would you have known? Many mlcers say such things, but never voiced their thoughts/concerns at the time they thought we should have been there for them.
A quick thought on that. They also "remember" that they needed your help, even if at the time they didn't think so. smile

When you see those personalities, it kind of makes sense. Depressed? What to do about that? Well, you try and fix it. But how? Hmm.. I know. I'll go back in my mind to a time I was happy before. Bang! Enter teenager. The only problem is that they weren't happy then. Bang! Forward to a time I was happy. I know, I was a husband with only good things to look forward to. Except that I haven't dealt with the issues as a teen. Bang! Forward to depression. Why can't I be happy? There must be a reason.... If only I could... Bang! Life intrudes and I have things I have to do as an adult. If only I was somebody else who IS happy. Bang! Except, I'm not that person. Rinse, repeat.

Just three personalities? I counted 11 in mine. And she still seems to trying. Crazy? MLC? Who knows, but I do know there are unresolved issues that she's dealing with even now. It goes on until they resolve the issues.

Grab the popcorn and strap in. It's a wild ride to say the least. But don't get in the way of it. You didn't start it, and you can't stop it. It has to play out at, as you've seen, all costs.

Peace,
