he will try to come back to daddy who has a big house with many bedrooms and go on disability allowance which is quite common.
I keep seeing people expect Lloyd to return to the UK. Perhaps that's possible, but I really can't see it. Then again, desperation can make people do things they never dreamt of, and if he really does hit rock bottom, and he clearly has no reasons to stay in Croatia (no proper job and no chance of any Croatian woman with an IQ above pond life wanting to have anything to do with him) then it might happen.
A lot would depend on:
- what his relationship with his father really is - given that it was only recently that he came off the register of directors of his father's company, maybe their relationship has soured? It could be the marriage break-up and the circumstances around it got back to his parents, and that has led to an estrangement?
- just what it is that is keeping Lloyd away. If it's simply that he doesn't want to be reminded of his past, he's obsessed with the idea that a post-Brexit UK is bad and he thinks he's better than his roots, then desperation might drive him back. But if there are darker and more serious reasons for him staying away as some people seem to suggest, then even the threat of homelessness and poverty would presumably not persuade him. He might prefer to try and take up with someone else he knows elsewhere in the EU (presuming he has a Croatian passport), maybe one of his (shrinking) band of "disciples"?
The words “stranded in Croatia” are revealing in more ways than one. [..] Those are words of a truly isolated and lonely man. [.]He’s lived there for over 15 years now, yet has no meaningful relationship with anyone
I've not followed his latest outpourings, and after several weeks of not seeing or hearing anything of him I can't bring myself to verify it personally, but from what those of you who have "taken one for the team" and kept up with his ramblings are saying, maybe he really is about to hit rock bottom. It's been coming for some years, like a slow-motion car crash, but now it looks like it's really starting.
The question is, will these self-searching thoughts of his lead to real "repentance", or just more self-justification? One clue will be what he does next. He can either wallow in self-pity and escapism, or he can make a plan for change in his life and work towards it. Given he is not yet 50 and seems generally in good health (physically at least), there is still time to make a pivot in his life and learn from all his mistakes, even belatedly. So far, he appears to have chosen the first option though, which is not a good sign, and if he keeps on down that road, his mental and physical health will soon decline further.
Another clue will be regarding how he acts over his daughters. If he continues to bemoan his disconnection from them but all he does about it is either 1) try to interfere with how Dijana is raising them or, 2) try to "punish" her by withholding financial support or behaving unreasonably over access, then that will speak volumes.
The best thing he can do is commit to a specific financial agreement and then either 1) negotiate properly with Dijana over access then stick to that arrangement, or 2) get out of their lives altogether until such time as each of the girls reach an age and maturity where they can choose if they want contact with him.
