I guess the million dollar question is, when does the MLCer realize this??
IMO, it is 2 questions...
1) does the MLCer EVERY realize
and 2) if they do, when is that.
The answer is the same - no one really knows. Either way, keeping do what you need to do for you and the kids. He may wake up, he may not. As long as you are doing it as respectful as you can - that is all you can ask of yourself.
Sorry you find yourself in this sitch.
