[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 399851, member: 1514"] I agree about the political refrain. It really seems as though that was his "outlet" of sorts to rant about but it just as well could have been anything. He could have thought that ufo's were watching and he needed to wear aluminum foil hats and line all his windows so his thoughts couldnt be read. I have heard of many cases where that is the case. When reality gets so distorted it is a horrible thing. You really cannot convince someone that what they believe is not real. Trust my, I lived through a very short period of time in that place and I have the utmost respect for people who have to live like that forever. I was so convinced I was pregnant. Now we all get a good laugh about it but I was really convinced. Seriously convinced. You wouldnt believe all the stuff I was convinced of that went along with that. There was also so many other things that I was delusional about. I thought Tony got arrested several times. I thought he was going out and getting drunk and getting in bar fights and getting locked up. He doesnt drink at all. The scratches on his hand were from work! Things were really bad at times. Thankfully mine got better but I cant imagine living that way for a long period of time. I cant imagine if you didnt know that what you were thinking and feeling wasnt reality. That has to be the scariest thing in the world. [/QUOTE]
