I am starting this thread because I had a lightbulb moment yesterday in my continued dealings with my xh.

Reading his latest strange email, I realised that much of his apparent state of mind can be explained by fear. I have not seen (maybe missed?) much discussion of this aspect of MLC behaviour, and perhaps I am wrong or it is just my xh?

I think it could be why they can't be alone, why they seek validation, why they do not let go . . . . .

If this resonates, or you have any resources about this, I would love to know.
