Nobody has it "all together" but I consider MLC more of an explanation for their extreme response to this time in life rather than an excuse. Most of the population deals with this transition in ways that are not as destructive. The reality of watching somebody "flip that switch" is jarring and the LBS needs to have some sort of narrative to deal with all of this. DBing is a coping mechanism but even Michelle says MLC behavior is fairly extreme.
Aren't we all on a journey all the time anyway? No disrespect Cali but that word is bandied about like the word dysfunctional. yes we can get stuck but even being stuck is still a journey.
