Jer sorry you had to go through that, I was not here when I went through it but reading that took me back almost 2 years when I was in that family meeting about how Mommy and Daddy were going to take a break. I was more pi$$ed off about it than anything and really figured 2 months tops .... man .. how wrong and how off was I??

Who knows what was going on in her head... In my heart and head I was falling apart while seeing their pain... Horrible experience.
I had that one too, was like we were at a business deal and she had absolutely no connection to S nor me .... then when some of the depression would set in later you at least see some sort of emotion, but it would lift and back to that Fake-Happy as I would call it in my head ... on the outside she most likely appeared happy to those who did not know her, but to those close we all knew better. Its a strange characteristic with MLC thats for sure. Just be on alert, that Guilt bucket got heavier for her, I would expect some spew / fall out coming ... get the jacket ready.
