[QUOTE="totoro, post: 299175, member: 3155"] Poor little guy. So glad though that it is being seen by experts. This can be a fine line for our kids. There is a huge difference between wanting to escape because of loneliness which is troubling for our kids. They can sink into agoraphobia or worse depression with these kinds of thoughts. Then there is the actual magical thinking, where they truly believe they can do it, that there truly is a way to do this and that these other worlds exist. Which can lead or go hand in hand with them being in a delusional state at times or not being able to differentiate from the fantasy world and the real world. Hopefully he is just lonely and needs to relate to something familiar right now. Something safe, an escape. K right now believes she can control traffic. Among her thinking there is a world that she only knows about. Her world is truly out of her own mind, no TV influence etc. The only funny thing about her controlling the traffic is I keep asking her make the cars behind me get off of my butt! LOL I really think most of our kids need to escape, they have way too much going on in there heads for most people. Our jobs our to help them keep it all straight and in order. Not easy How long until School starts? [/QUOTE]
