Kimmerz, Mlcers think that we, the lbs, family, pets, etc., will remain right where they left us pre-crisis. They lose time and when they talk to you about the when something happened or the ages of your children, they are off on the numbers. It's the depression that does this. They truly do not think that we will ever move, redo the home, find new jobs, the children grow up, the pets die and so on. They are like Rip Van Winkle because they go to sleep and life does go on and things do change, and when they finally do begin to wake up, everything has changed.
It's MLC and a bit of narcissism in the mix, as well as depression.
BTW, until he wakes up, if ever, you won't be able to trust a word that comes out of his mouth. If an MLCer's lips are moving, then lies will spew forth.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
