Wow, great thread.

I don’t think it would be normal if we didn't wonder whether or not our spouse is in MLC. I know I still do sometimes.

For months after her Mom died, the smallest trigger would cause my W to cry. Quite odd coming from a woman who prior to this almost never cried. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me “I don’t know, I can’t explain it”, which I believe was a truthful answer.

How gradual or quickly was the process of the fog lifting for you?
