[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 336767, member: 7083"] DF - It's really not that strange when you look at it from her perspective. I mean, it [I]is[/I] strange, but you can kinda understand her "logic". My difficult child started sending me info on Paranoid PD and this or that. She knew she was different and was trying to figure out why, so was doing the online research. This was back when she was adamant that there was nothing wrong with her, by the way. The stuff she sent did not fit her at all, but I could see what she's trying to do. In your difficult child's case - and this is just a possibility of course, but my take on it - instead of researching possible MI, she's researching Renfield Syndrome (I have to look that up...don't know what it is...Manga either). I think she's seeking answers. She just doesn't see or understand the line between reality and....delusion. I don't want to call it fantasy because I think for your difficult child it's beyond fantasy. Is the psychiatrist aware of the cutting and biting? That should be a huge red flag. Actually, all of this should be a huge red flag, but you know that already. [/QUOTE]
