Sorry to hear this TAD, my father has been in this type of condition for the last 3 1/2 years and I understand how difficult it is.

Going to put a quote from your last thread here

I think many people have heard about the "7 year itch" and some may understand that people, in their adult lives, go through "transitions" every 7 to 10 years, give or take. Those transitions can often include re-making themselves, including some behaviours.

That said, once a person makes a lucid choice to become "version 2" of themselves, they are going to stick with it, own it, embrace it... for likely the next 7 to 10 years... until their next transition.

If we look at MLC as being a transition, just in crises, the same can hold true. If someone comes out of transition, or what an LBS and others might think as "stuck" (because they are continuing to be someone that we don't recognize), it holds to reason that it can take 7 to 10 years before they decide, in their next "normal" transition, to return back to a person we more recognize. At that next transition, they may come to realize what they have done in the past (their behaviour during MLC and "after") was inappropriate.


KD - very well put. I like it
