Reality

Daughter is having a very difficult time with reality right now. It seems that every other word out of her mouth is a lie. She lied about how much work she'd accomplished at the workshop today. She came home and told me that Flasher was doing better. Translation: she didn't break up with him. On the way to see Therapist, she told me she was afraid to break up with him, because he might hurt her. I told her that was a big concern, if she was afraid he would hurt her, and a definite reason to end the relationship.
.
She told Therapist that Flasher pinched her 4 times today. She's going to go in tomorrow and tell the boss. Therapist and I don't believe her. We've told her that. She insists it's the truth. She may have talked herself into thinking this story is true. Therapist thinks she just needs to experience the logical consequences of her tall tales, and then she'll learn. I pointed out that she won't learn. Therapist acknowledged she'll probably have to go through it several times.
.
It could be months before she's stable on the new med. It will be a very long few months. Trying to figure out what is real and what is fantasy is exhausting.
