I just tried to follow the instructions on posting a new thread so that I could post my story.  After typing the entire thing and hitting "post", I was met with an error message saying I was not allowed to post.  How do I post my story?  I am obviously missing something in the instructions, would like to become more active with the forum...please help  :o

I had the same problem Lovemyman... but when the site went down the last time, all of them went back to default... so I have been slowly putting everything back on "notify".

Hi can someone direct me to advice for setting boundaries with my MLCer who visits the kids in our apartment 3/4 times a week. He has been rude and difficult in front of the kids and I cant tolerate it.
Or should I? i've already been doing it when he lived here I went from arguing with him to difusing and not reacting. But he doesnt live here he needs to know that life has changed its too stressful for me.

Okay, I have a question........it may have been covered already.......but if it has I don't know where. 

      I've been noticing in several postings that depression is a major part of MLC.  What if the MLC'er clings and hangs onto that as the very reason/cause for their behavior?  Will this prevent them from really facing and seeing the true issues that caused this to happen?  My exH is on AD's and going to counseling/therapy.  Is there a chance that he will completely bypass all the issues due to the fact that he is so focused on depression being the root cause of his "illness"?
