[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 299128, member: 6546"] Not to hi-jack the thread here....but yes, it originally [I]started[/I] as a Twilight thing....and quickly morphed into something far more hideous. Evidently, because the Twilight series was written for young adults--it was a bit too tame for hardcore vampire fans...and so a whole series of websites have cropped up featuring the "additional adventures' of the story's character. Much of it would be rated XXX. And even though husband and I monitor our daughter's computer use--the same cannot be said for many other parents around here....and so these graphic stories began circulating around the school. difficult child even managed to assemble a 3-ring binder full of printouts from these websites before we found out about this....and so now her fantasy world includes devil worship, human and animal sacrifices, voo-doo curses, and graphic sexual scenarios such as accidentally eating your partner during lovemaking, etc. If it's gross, disgusting and completely inappropriate then it's apparantly quite fascinating to difficult child. (And yes, we're discussing it with the new psychiatrist...) When the books first came out....I didn't mind them at all because fantasy stories were a great way to get difficult child to read. But now I wish I'd never even HEARD of Twilight. And how it went from harmless interest to obsessive to the point of being confused with reality--I'm not sure....I don't know what about these stories "flipped the switch" as it were. So I can absolutely understand why GCVMom would be concerned...it's hard to know why or when or if these kids will cross that line between fantasy and reality. Hopefully developing better social skills and interacting with real friends will help him stay more grounded. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
