Just wanted to share a TED talk I saw yesterday which has helped me understand more about my MLC husband.

and this one too

I will probably find out that posting links isn't allowed. But do have a look, I particularly found the Vulnerability talk very powerful.

Very interesting on Vulnerability - especially the part about being unable to selectively 'numb' some feelings and not others.  Makes sense.

Thanks for posting this.  I also found those TED talks helpful in terms of my own work.  I am a big fan of Brene's book "The Gifts of Imperfection", also for my own work.  For what it is worth...

Thank you Sunny!

No problem posting outside links on this forum Sunny.  RCR doesn't mind.

These have been posted before somewhere, a while ago.
They're great.  Really worthwhile talks with a lot of good things to consider.

I'm not sure if this is the right place or way to post this but I found this article on Salon.com and, although it's not exactly MLC, her standing actions sounded very much like the way we feel.

Although I LOVE LOVE LOVE this forum and am SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for everyone here... It's nice to read about someone outside of this forum who feels the same way we do.

Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing.  I love that she expressed the reason why she didn't kick him to the curb.  When others were telling her it was time to do so.  Because she LOVED him.  It really can be that simple.  I appreciate her saying how it wasn't because she was co-dependent.  But that she loved him.  And her self-discovery is much like what we are experiencing - what I know I am experiencing!  It really is a beautiful thing!

Thanks again!

But.....the question is what should we do when THEY kick US to the curb?

But.....the question is what should we do when THEY kick US to the curb?

We love them unconditionally just as we would if they had some other kind of mental health issue or disease..just as Christ does.
