In answer to your question about telling family & friends about your sitch, I told only a few, my sis,(not my dad),my children, & 2 close friends. Who H told & what he said damaged a few R I had with his friends & family.
There were times when I was so angry, I wanted to tell the world, but now I`m glad I didn`t. Also, if your H is in MLC, it could push him further into the tunnel & farther away from you. MLC`ers do not like to be talked about & if they find out, will become angry.

Most people don`t want to get involved in private matters of other`s. It`s like they`ll have to chose sides, it`s uncomfortable.
