The way I see it, our action or inaction with DB is about protecting ourselves from more hurt than is necessary from the insane MLC-er.
MLC reminds me of the Tazmanian Devil on Bugs Bunny. He whirls around and makes all these messes and we can either stand in his path or step outta the way. Fighting a whirling hurricane is pointless, we will only get blown away. We can say or do anything but only if we do/say it with the understanding that it may not make a hill of beans difference to a gale force wind.
Sometimes, it feels like I could stand on my head naked in the middle of public square with a sign reading "My husband is insane" and it wouldn't impact the outcome of this situation one bit. Except he would have more ammo for calling me insane or whatever. Which would then cause ME more grief. I could look like a young Sophia Loren and breathe sex appeal and he would probably still b!tch that I didn't earn enough money. I could be the CEO of a Fortune 500 and I wouldn't be sexy enough.
If, however, I can tolerate what he dishes out without allowing it to slow me down on my own journey, then, so be it, dance naked in public square!!
My point is... If his behavior is stopping you up in your journey, then it's time for him to go. If you have reached your limit, then, that's it.
We have to protect ourselves in the best way we know how. If you feel peaceful, then you must have made a good decision for your heart.
It will be interesting to see what he does next. I think avoiding him until you are ready is awesome.
Have a fabulous day!!!
