Let me clarify... by weaker character, meaning that they never really had the tools to face things and work through them. So this mlc, which we all know is a crisis, may be too much for those who don't know how to deal with those emotions/issues. This may be why some just wander around not even know what is going on or how to deal, while other may have been more equipped.
Maybe I just need more sleep.
Yes, I agree- they are definitely trying to start over. Wow! Amazing to think it could be so easy?!
