or he was screwed up from the start and nobody here realized it. His wife tried to fix him by taking him back to the mainland, then left him when that didn't work.
We can all make up stories about what happened, but none of us know.

Is someone still a malahini after they leave Hawaii anyway?
Malihini means visitor, so yes. They would be visitors in the past tense. Malihini meltdown is when a visitor has to leave the islands, usually back to where they came from. It is applied to mostly haole that think they live here. They think they are residents but they are just visitors. It is easy to pick them out. This island is big enough, people forget where they are and think they are in some rural suburb of some mainland city. The ones that are unable to fully move their minds to Hawaii are the ones that succumb to island fever, and find they have no choice but to leave. Not a bad thing, not a good thing, just one of those things that happens a lot with delusions about Hawaiian life or unwillingness to live the Hawaiian life.

I know of several that went back because they couldn't get the medical care they needed here. The wife of a friend of mine is in LA getting treatment as I write, but is coming back after. I know of a gent that had to go there permanently for cancer treatment. He totally hated that he had to leave the big island, as he and his mate loved it here. As I'm fast approaching 63 years of age, who knows how my health will hold up. That would be the only reason I'd leave here.

Most of what is printed in this article is not true or accurate. I am Flints wife. I did not divorce him and this is not how it went down or even what happened. Hapunatic or whoever the writer of this article is should get his facts straight before spreading crap on the internet.

Also I stayed with him to the very end and if you read the suicide note he left me you would know my love was unconditional and he knew it too. So screw you hapunatic.

What I don't get is why anyone would move to Wyoming after living in Hawai'i. Especially for the reason of "missing the snow" because Hawai'i has snow, Mauna Kea. A lot closer, and a hell of a lot more interesting than anything in Wyoming. Have you guys been up in the Idaho/Montana/Wyoming area? extremely low population, very little opportunity for anyone, cold as **** in the winters, hot and muggy in the summer, and there's just ****ing nothing out there except a golf course in Couer De Lane, Idaho, and Yellowstone in Montana. That is it. I used to live in Idaho, I travelled around the neighbor states, so I know. It's barren, especially compared to Hawai'i.

We were from Wyoming and loved it here. We didn’t move back because we missed the snow. There were several reasons but my husband was totally fine with moving back We love it here. We loved camping and fishing and hiking and backpacking. My husbands problems started in Hawaii which was the main reason we moved back. To get him out of the environment. I never divorced him or abandoned him. We had a very happy marriage and were the loves of each other’s lives.

That makes a lot more sense, thank you for sharing that. I sympathize with you, as much as I can. My father and my stepdad and all of his brothers were heavily into meth, to the point now that I can somehow tell when someone is tweaking without actively knowing they are using meth, there's this weird sort of vibe they give off. Meth destroyed my family, and the family before that, in a generational chain. So while I haven't lost any loved ones, I do have some understanding.
