Hi Garda. I can’t even imagine 5 years with a live in MLCer. I am a year and a half in with one and I can’t imagine the endurance and patience needed for that long. You are a ROCK! I really wish I could comment on your withdrawal question. I feel like mine runs through multiple stages at once sometimes, but I don’t think she is in withdrawal. The hardest part for me is to not cycle up and down with her. I hope someone can chime in on your question because I am intereted in hearing an answer too. Sorry you are back here again, but at least there are new friends here to make. Not really much of a consolation, but I’m glad you decided to start posting again.
