I believe you can save your M. You are still running a marathon. At some point the strategy and tactics for you change. Only you know when that is.


I do not remember which book I read, but one of steps in the process was called "Together at last". I hope you make it there.



Thank you so much Ready2Change, you have helped me a lot with my sitch. I agree that we aren’t close to being out of the woods. I need to stop obsessing over things and just accept it for what it currently is.

I’ve been re-reading a lot of info on MLC today and one things clear, every mlcer’s journey isn’t the same. They all sort of seem to use the same lines and my H is pretty textbook when it comes to MLC. It’s crazy I read articles about those going through MLC and the things that they do and say. I’m always like...YES, YES, YES. Like yes that’s exactly what I’m going through. It truly blows my mind.

This is quite a ride my friend. Unlike anything I’ve ever endured. Only time will tell if my M can be saved. For now I’m just enjoying the peace and quiet. I feel a lot less streased today and that is a good feeling.

Thanks again my friend!
