MY XH cut all ties with me, our 2 kids, and his family of origin..
It was hard for me to understand because he was somewhat friendly and avail during our separation and for 2 years after Bomb.
I think many MLCers sink deeper into despair and trouble as they progress through the tunnel.. some choose to withdraw completely some keep up contact
I'm sorry that he cant be there for you now, but I agree with Andrew-I don't think they can deal with mortality issues
My XH M a 28 year old. he was 42. they are now D.
He is still very sick, drinking and maintains no contact..no support for his children--
They are deep in crises and it is the script.. not you...not your fault.
Do whatever you can to take care of you-
perhaps you can meet with an attorney to get resources and free advice- many attorneys will give a free consult and many will also give free advice via phone-
MY xh and I had a thriving business..
He chose to leave and I took the business when he began coming to work high.. he lost everything and didn't seem to care as he rode of in the sunset with his child bride-(who was also an addict)
Remember it is a true crises-They make no sense.. Many will go in debt.. many will chose Affair partners with psych issues
If you can put his aside..I know its hard.. try to use all your energy toward your healing His issues started long b4 MLC hit There are theories that people in MLC are usually people with unresoilved childhood trauma and issues That was certainly our story
Please keep coming and posting a great group here to help you - all the best , peace
