[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 337131, member: 6546"] Marg-- You are exactly right. In fact, at the time we were discussing Renfields at the therapist appointment, I didn't catch the significance of the difference. It was only after the blow-up, when I began wondering what the heck happened...that I realized that difficult child had said she did not "have the symptoms". We never actually addressed whether Renfield's Sundrome was real. I don't know why I didn't catch it at the time. Probably because I was so relieved to hear her say she did not believe she had it in the first place. And then yes, I got home. I felt like we had clarified that difficult child [I]knew[/I] fantasy from reality and therefore she must know (if she had read anything at all about this disorder) that it was not recognized as an illness. And what I thought was a reasonable suggestion prompted a hostile response. Marg-- I think this is a really good idea--but you are right, it is going to be hard for me to sit back and watch. My instinct (much like Janet's response) has been to try and reason with her, share examples, give her more information etc. On some level, I guess I've been thinking that maybe she is simply mistaken and did not have the correct information. Thanks so much for taking the time to really analyze the dynamic... --Daisyface [/QUOTE]
