Hey Mighty, You say you feel like an MLCer, well that makes sense. You are in a "crisis" yourself, not the same as theirs but one brought on by xh's actions. This crisis was forced on you. Your entire world has changed, your plans for your future you had for the last 20 years are no longer valid due to things totally outside your control. Your family has lost one of it's wheels and nothing you can do will fix this. Of course you feel in crisis!
All us LBS's are in our own crisises. Just one's that aren't caused by our past hurts but by having the rug pulled out from under our lives. Our journeys out our just as hard as the MLCers. We need to reassess everything. Make new lives for ourselves. Come to terms with all we lost, knowing we didn't do anything to deserve this.
We will stop and start, move forward and slide back but unlike the MLCer we understand that we alone control whether we enjoy our lives, are "happy", are grateful for all we have been blessed with and not crying over that which we don't. You have to go through this so you can come out the other side having learned a hard lesson but better than you ever were before. Hang in there Mighty, you WILL get there sooner than you think!
