It's mostly the paranoia, or so I've noticed, that makes them refuse to believe that these things are all in their own mind. <br /><br />It is a sad situation, especially as a family member, and I hate when people joke about it. I really do, but I know it's because they have no idea what they're talking about. So in a way that makes me feel a little better, recognizing their ignorance anyway.PumpkinHathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568544702898341343noreply@blogger.com
