It all makes perfect sense. And you're not the first person to also mention a MLC (he's been talking about tattoos, cars, cowboy boots...lol!).
He's always avoided all responsibilities in life. I've dealt with them all. So one of the things I decided pretty soon after he left was that I wasn't going to do any of the work for the S/D.
Sure, I'll find out information, but that's for my own benefit, and to make me feel less afraid. But I wouldn't share it with him, or initiate anything.
So I guess that's my next move, behind the scenes, finding out information.
