Hi Julie, Always remember the MLC is like a teenager. What do teenagers hate more than anything? Not getting exactly what they want when they want it! I think these a$$hats really believe the stuff that comes out of their fevered minds. My W is still so sure that her D's are going to be so very happy to have their lives ripped apart because they want her to be happy and this will make her so. She claimed getting a D will make her a better mother! That the only reason to go to MC (this was pre-DB) was so the MC could tell me how RIGHT she was to end 20 years of M and tell me how wrong I am. It doesn't matter how obvious it is to the world that what they are doing is nuts (tell me what logical person at his age could say "The real me doesn't like the real you' like up until he cheated on his W and destroyed his M, he wasn't being "real"?). If the kids looked him in the eye and said "What you are doing is wrong and hurtful" he would just say that they don't "really" feel that way, it's your fault they said that because you won't let him go!
Just remember, he is the crazy one, not you. Don't buy his stuff!
