[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 528371, member: 84"] Keista, that aspect is why this bothers me so much, the issues she has in the real world coupled with what she has constructed for herself online. Sis is the other easy child of the family. She's the carbon copy of my mom minus the schizo diagnosis with the need to have the "perfect" family. She's not as severe in that as my mom is by far, but the tendency to do that is still pretty strong. I nearly fell out of my chair when she told me she actually took H to see a psychiatrist and therapist. That by itself tells me H's behavior is pretty severe at home, it would have had to have been for sis to consider that step. It's possible H is transgender. I suppose it's possible she's gay. But I've heard nothing (nor saw anything in behavior) over the years to indicate that is the case. Sis' eldest is gay. He has not "come out" to the family, at least not extended family........but it has been rather obvious since he was 16. There are those it would bother, but mostly.....it doesn't really matter. H [B]does[/B] have an extremely low self image and has hated herself since she was young. Her height has been a major issue since infancy. It's hard to make friends when they believe you to be too old to play. It didn't help that she's an Army brat and moved fairly often. Sis tries to convince me H is terribly shy, but I don't see it. She was too much In Your Face as a child and attention seeking to be "shy". She has cut, hallucinated and heard voices. (no drugs/alcohol) From what sis told me, she sounded like a more extreme version of Nichole during her bad times. (and Nichole was pretty severe) I'm not saying the borderline is inaccurate. I'm saying I don't believe it's the only thing going on. I know there are those who reinvent themselves online. I've run into many of them in forums over the years. It's a game and a form of entertainment, although I don't understand it myself. Travis has tried to call her on it.....I can't recall if he did it in actual forums or in private......but she blew him off. Shoot, I'm tempted to call her on it and do a post telling her "followers" exactly like it is and shatter her little fantasy bubble. But if it's just a complicated game to her she'd just create a new user name and start over..........and if it's not a game, that wouldn't necessarily be a good idea. [/QUOTE]
