I could use some help from former WW and MLC sufferers. Not 100% sure how to approach this long journey.
My W was having a MLC and was a WW. Often they are linked. As I said before all WW are usually WAWs too. But they can be WAWs without being a WW.
MLC are tricky. First anyone can have one at any age. However, you will see a lot of WAW/WW are triggered, seemingly by a MLC around a milestone birth date. Mine repeatedly talked about being 50. How she felt it was her last chance at happiness.
Here is the thing though, lots of people have MLCs and don't leave their MR. So you can blame it fully on a MLC.
As LH, regardless of the labels. MLC or not. WW or not. WAS, etc...... The actions are the same. Some will advocate for tougher love for the WW, and that may be what is necessary. However, there are no quick fixes in any of this stuff. The temptation is to label it so we can shoot it with a magic bullet. There is no such thing.
