Did u experience all the stages of a MLC? If so what was each step like? I kinda think/hope H is in the withdrawal stage. He has definitely withdrawn from me and my youngest hasn't spoken to him either. He said they have a group text but YS hasn't participated. Just wondering since they tend to wear a mask, do they withdraw from everybody or is there cases in which they just withdraw from you? I believe my H's MLC started in 2017 and it may have started as early as 2015, that's when his father passed away. I believe he's the person that caused my H the most emotional pain during his childhood and even as an adult. I don't recall seeing any redflags during that time, I might have missed them, however in 2017 he started an EA with a girl at work, totaled our car and went to jail for DUI, definitely some flags there. 2018 had back surgery, 2019 lost his job of 15yrs failed drug test has smoked for yrs didnt think it would catch up with him, my mom passed away, lost another job for the same reason. I believe he was in MLC during all of that and was in the denial stage, IDK the stages get confusing cause they seem to be in and out and in and out of stages, they might come out of one stage then return to it. It's hard to tell when they've actually completed a stage. I try not to focus too much time on it, however I would b lying if I said I never think abt it. Just want to pick the brain of somebody that actually went through a MLC.
