I think as far as the sleep issue. When in MLC the mind just cycles and cycles and cycles. It can't or won't shut down and in turn your up. Most people should be sleeping at 2am but I think most MLC'ers will be up chasing there own demons at that time.
You really seem to get it. Living your own life and being the rock for son.
I tried to co-parent with my ex-w. It just wasn't in the cards. The hate, the spew, the anger still resonates today maybe even more so. I just became the best single father that I could be.
I like reading your ongoing story. It make me smile to myself. One, because our stories are similar and two, because I consider you a success because of your growth through this.
Keep moving on.

Thanks Mirage
Yeah just looking at that sleep thing, hard not to wonder if that fuels the MLC a touch. I know after BD when I was faced with all that came with it, toss in the A with OM I was a wreck and would wake up at 2 am with that on my mind, no escape .... I realize thats only a taste of what these MLC'rs are going through, no way to live I would think.
