YR - a question for you: when your h was coming out of MLC - before he started reconnecting to you, did he become less 'alien' around other memebers of the family? My youngest son reported that his father was more like his old self, but that when he disagreed with his father on ANYTHING he had a temper tantrum like a toddler! He has been Mr dead eyed alien for so long that is has worn us all out!
