[QUOTE="DDD, post: 495402, member: 35"] I am not an expert on this. I did have an imaginary friend "Doodle Dandy" when I was three or four and since I didn't have any young friends to play with my family accepted daughter. on the other hand he was just my friend and companion not an "alter ego". I think there may be a difference. Somewhere over my many years of parenting I believe that some psychologists suggest not fostering the concept of two selves. Surely there are varying ideas about this but I do clearly recall reading that going along with the good vs. the bad personality can have negative consequences. I think I would do some research to make sure that the reactions you display are actually in J's best interests. Likely you'll find conflicting opinions. DDD [/QUOTE]
