You might want to watch The Others with Nicole Kidman, Steena, that might help you as well.

What if she were a high-level exec who has complete control at work but then falls apart at home and believes her child/ren are still alive? Would that be more believable? In my head, I have her carrying her a doll around at home, conversing with it, taking care of it - perhaps even speaking with her dead/left husband ... things start to fall apart at home (she expects dinner to be ready, dishes done - they aren't) as well as at work - her normal in control, tight run ship starts to unravel ... would that make more sense? More believability than a bubbly, overweight receptionist?<br /><br />I'm off to watch that episode!
