So you dont recommend the "hey baldy" or "hello wiggy" approach then! Wondered why she burst into tears!
Have had a look at Alapechia, and it seems to fit.
It now comes to mind, that a colleague in Holland, who went through a divorce, developed a bald spot, and then it grew back. That was stress related.
Funny that the dance we have with our MLCer is the same as the one with our kids. Before I would be concerned that she was in her room or going out, rather than spending time with me.
I left her alone a bit, now she is spending time watching TV with me. Trouble is you wont believe the crap I have to sit through, When all I ask for is Coronation Street....and some nights she does not go out at all!! So it does happen!
