One thing you need to accept. Living under the same roof with a MLC alien is nightmarish and will suck the life out the best DBer.

Some do it. Other crumble under the weight of it. Does their living away increase the chance they will not return?

Absolutely not.

We have seen nothing to support that. In fact, it is often hard for them to return when they haven't left. You have a great deal to learn about mlc and need to begin your homework. 'If' he is MLC ... then this is about a great many life issues that have secretly weighed on him since childhood or early adulthood. These are so suppressed he didn't know, or couldn't face.

He is having to have his place to live out his lost youth. He like so many will learn in time that he does not belong there anymore. Only by trying to recapture his past and relive his youth can he return to the present. Think of him as a teenager having to go back and relive his terrible twos.

That is what MLC is. Who in their right mind would want a terrible two year old in a grown body running around in the house or in/out at all hours ... spending on toys only to discard them ... making all new friends only to be used by them ... and all the while blaming you for their dirty diaper?

Some have helped their MLCer move, decorate, arranged weekly dinners or movies ... ok, rare as a three legged horse winning a race; it could happen.
