Hello Snowdrop, not sure if you were still on the boards when I joined in 2016 but it's good to hear an update, regardless.

From a LBS and loving mother viewpoint, I don't see how deep down he can truly be happy when he has left his children and wife in such a way, but that is the conundrum, isn't it?  How they can justify their lives, post bomb drop.

I'm glad you and your kids are doing well and I hope for his sake he does some reflecting and sees that he really did have the world and he threw it away.

Another 2016 member here and while I don't remember reading your posts Snowdrop, I do appreciate reading updates from veterans. 

Nice to read that you and the kids have come out the other side and are doing well.

Also another 2016 member here. Haven't heard from MLCer in over a year, bumped into him a few months back and that is all. MLCer has no contact with his family either, I have decided to slowly distance myself from them as well. Time to move on.

Last I heard, MLCer still a big spender and has no job. I'm doing great, just bought my own home (yay) and have my Christmas holidays planned!

Thanks for coming back to update us. 
I didn't know you personally, but seems like you've moved on well.
Congratulations on the house, and enjoy your Christmas plans.

Class of 2016 and graduated with honors.  In that time, I've gotten a new job, new home and now a new R with a wonderful,  caring, loving man.  Life got  infinitely better for me the day I decided to blaze my own path far, far away from his nonsense.

Seems like most of us all are doing well, if not better :) I haven't got into any relationships, pretty much traumatised from it all lol
