Is this part of the MLC process when they act like this? He was never this cold to me and he basically just tries to avoid me or else has something else to toss at me when he can see that I'm in better spirits or getting more control of my life and growing more independent.

Has this kind of thing ever happened to anyone else?


Hi Jlh, I am in the same boat. It is like H walks around with a needle to burst my balloon at every turn. I am cheerful, he gets angrier, I am aloof and minding my own business he reminds me of the D process. Also does everything at home as if in competition to prove he is independent and doesnt need me anymore. So feels like it is a common behavior for the WAS. I try playing this in my mind when such things happen: treat WAS and his comments as tiny speck of dust on your shiny new detachment coat, dust it off whenever they spew poison so it doesnt soak in.
