It's either that they all follow the same source (books, articles, forums, ...whatever) or this MLC thing is a real psychological disorder that must be officially recognized by all therapists and psychiatrists.
Personally, I don't think she is sick, but I do think that judging by her behaviour, the conflicting things she comes out with and the confused state she is in, it could possibly be a psychological/emotional issue.
From an early age my wife has bottled up her emotions and feelings; her coping strategy is to forget about things and pretend they never happened. The issues are wide ranging and the worst you can imagine. From little things like the kids being kids to major life issues.
I've read suppression makes you loose all feelings, including the positive ones of love, joy and happiness. I cant remember the last time I saw her smile. Her EA/PA made her happy. I guess it was like a drug, giving her a new high. Escape and fantasy.
One person no longer wants the life they have had for 25years that has made them happy.
She thinks she would be better off without me and living alone sharing the kids will make her happy? I cant see it at the moment and not sure I ever will.
