[QUOTE="Stick a Fork in Me, post: 330187, member: 8590"] The spawn has decided that reality is for losers and has moved into full-fledged fantasy life. It got so strange that even her friend's were talking to me (the few that are left) to tell me what they were seeing and how much danger they thought she was in. She's happy as a lark in fantasy-land - packing up her room to move to new zealand with people who don't exist. No need to finish school because her friend is very wealthy and is a master chef and a master DJ and a lauded mixologist, etc. and will support her forever. We went and saw the psychiatrist today (she won't go). We're being geared up for the idea that it's possible she may never be fully functional... having this type of "break" before she's had a chance to become self-sufficient and functional makes it harder for her to ever get there. The fact that she's already so immature for her age doesn't help. And the fact that she's legally an adult means there's little we can do for her right now. We've been playing along with the fantasy. He suggested to not confront, but not continue playing fully along. I suggested to her that I'm sure it was disappointing that things weren't working out as she hoped (she was supposed to go on this fabulous move before christmas... the friends were buying the ticket and sending money to expedite her passport. She even went and got all the forms filled out, etc.) but she insists that it's not a problem, it's just delayed while they're finding a house in new zealand. Did I mention none of it was real? She's still not a danger to herself or to us so there's not a blessed thing we can do but sit by and watch the horror of it all. [/QUOTE]
