Gordie: Pulling it all together

[ForGump]

First, I think it's a good thing that (as far as you can tell) your W was a fairly rational person before MLC. That means she can return to that at some point.

Of course repression and conflict avoidance is no good....

x years of M = x months of DB...that means 15 more months...

Don't tell my wife but if I knew going into it that she'd be emotionally divorced from me for 15 months but was sure to return to me after that ... I could accept that.

It's the not knowing how long, or thinking it's forever ... that makes it impossible to deal with.
