many MLCers experienced this kind of thing where one parent left and abandoned them MY XH did as well
All we can do for our kids is to provide a strong 1 parent unit, therapy if needed and awareness
We will only know when they hit 40-if the cycle will repeat
funny thing is my XH sister stayed M with no issues that I see, so each person is affected differently they had the same upbringing ,,she was younger and my brother and I both picked MLCers-and Married them and Divorced them and our parents stayed together until death-
