Though I do think if I watch actions now more than words they were always like that but now I'm more aware in some cases.
Sounds like a bit of wisdom there to me The trick is to not become so jaded and hurt that you can never open up again, right?
Put another way, now that you see things you didn't before (experience) can you still trust again? And if so, how much?
I think the real shame of MLC or just people in general is the betrayal of those that were closest - friends, kids, spouses, family etc. when they head off the rails on the crazy train. It becomes a real issue if we let it and aren't able to overcome and have healthy, trusting relationships again.
Fortunately, we're not wired that way. Not wired to remain in that world. We spend some time there as long as needed, but it never lasts for most. It does take effort, but that's life, right?
