I remember that movie! My H is a huge Jim Carrey fan. I think that describes them the best.
I read on another post or book somewhere that the MLCer will appear "normal" around others, work, family, etc. I've often thought of contacting H's mom to find out what she thinks, but I agree with AJ. MIL will say something like "he seems happy and doing well." that will NOT be what I want to hear, but I also don't really want him miserable either.
I'm new to this too Shining and I'm hoping the "masks" don't last forever!
