Looking for a miracle.

I am starting to wonder about this loss of memory. Is it a result of the MLC or a skill they develop to not face the results of their actions. I am starting to lean towards the later.

It can be both. I see in my W genuine memory loss, she cannot keep up with herself sometimes. One time she left our kitchen in the middle of making dinner to go pick up some antibiotics (salmon still frying in the pan).

I remember reading Wonka's stuff. She said sometimes just getting through the day was unbearably hard for her. With everything bouncing around in a MLC brain, some details are going to get lost.

I truly think it is a MLC trait. A defense mechanism that protects them from seeing the entire picture. I doubt they are completely oblivious to it. The mind protects itself from trauma. People have had car accidents and couldn't remember a thing.

I do believe that after time they get these memories back. In small doses so they can digest it. Then it depends on the core person. Do they confront it and talk about it... or pretend it never happened

Yowza - did you hit the nail on the head there, Irish. That to me also describes MLC in full. They are projecting their pain onto the LBS as a defense mechanism from looking inward. It's too painful inside to look.
