[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heavy investigation of the future in-laws. Go on vacation with them. Ask how close they are to their families of origin.[/quote] This. Watch people AFTER Day 3 of a vacation. As with the MTV Real World, that’s when things start getting real. If they run out of gas (energy), start disappearing to “work” (sleep, screens, addictions, cook comfort foods/fixations), can no longer hold back and forth conversations, then you can start suspecting masking of mental disorders. They can only mask for spurts. You want CONSISTENCY out of good friends and mates. Consistently able to function, talk things out, be there, see people’s needs and address them. Not avoid, or stonewall or disappear to do personal stuff when someone’s in need (a child, a situation, a spouse). [/quote]
