CT,

Thanks for offering your perspectives on what you view as WAS, WW, and MLC.

And to you as well

Please understand that MLC is not on any of the APA or DSM-VI list of 'disorders' because many of the psychologists, often, either dismiss them as pure fiction that those people come up to with to evade personal responsibility or do not support the existence of MLC. It took one guy who actually went through his own MLC and wrote a book on his own experiences.

Correct, MLC is not listed as a brain disorder there. Also, correct, the MLC is roughly considered a theoretical model to explain an physiological series of existential events which may or may not result in having classifiable mental disorders. However, it is being scientifically acknowledged that the subject of MLC, especially in females, requires significantly more research and little is know/understood beyond observational research which has medically cataloged and published. I shortened all of the above to 'disorder'. Perhaps I contributed to confusion by doing so.

On the WW/WAW - I have clearly misunderstood the terms and affiliated the presence of an A solely w/ WW and not w/ WAW, overlooked the contempt, anger, rebellion as being a necessary component of WW, and now realize I have not only misapplied the term WW to my own sitch, but potentially on others. Tremendous thank you for clearing this up for me. I assure you my WAW (see, learn quick) is scared, lost, and confused - all of those words coming from her own mouth and then some while offering me any attempt to explain how she feels.

[quote=CT1118]MLC is a medically classified brain disorder incumbent to the way some human brains process the natural human life sequence of reaching an understood point between birth and death which may include a gambit of symptoms that could or could not mimic those attributes associated with what we know here as WAW and/or WW.

How do you know this? What 'medical' sources can support that ^^ statement/assertion?

Hopefully I explained above adequately enough to answer this question.

Nice exchange and thank you for it. Now, I hope you will assist me w/ my sitch from time to time as I am fully vested in your MLC experience.
