I AM Loyal. That is a strong part of my personality. Sometimes I think my loyalty may be the only source of a calmness that he is dealing with and possibly, if a MLC can feel anything “guilt-wise”, that he knows at home he’s not in chaos.
I read your words yesterday when I came home at lunch and it is really nice to have something to think about as I go back to work and get me through. Sometimes, we LBS’ only can focus on the current state we are in and need sometime to guide us to a different perspective.
I’m wondering, does anyone ever have the overwhelming feeling to ask their MLC IHS spouse to go anywhere? The weather has been so beautiful and he’s home, and when I leave to head out, I often want to ask if he wants to come along. I don’t, because he has not done the same with me or even D, and most times he still leaves without a word. We just hear the door open and close and he’s out. But because of his “normal ness” I feel “normal” and want to ask him to join me.
Anyway, yesterday was better and today has the potential to even top that! (As I write from bed in pjs,how can it not?)
