Please remember that many MLCers have some heightened paranoia and hate, hate to be judged. I almost pulled out of a family vacation at Martha's Vineyard with Ms. Wonka because I couldn't stand (and nearly couldn't handle) the notion of having 1,000 eye balls staring at me and watching every move I made.
This is why it is so important to not really talk about your sitch with W's family or your family lest the info finds its way to W. If it had happened to me, I would have probably gone into monster mode and froze out Ms. Wonka with the silent treatment for it would have felt a "betrayal" to me.
Careful there, my friend.
You're doing good in navigating through this quagmire.
Oh and I think I received some Divine intervention when I got very, very seriously sick in December 2003 where my late father had to carry me to the ER for some treatment. Sometime around March 2004, the MLC fog had lifted from me. In hindsight, I think the stress from my own MLC just caught me up and hit me right between the eyes over the holidays.
I do think a lot of MLCers' immune systems are compromised in some form. Good Lord, the pain and pressure we all feel during the crisis pales in comparison to the average person walking on a sidewalk in NYC
