[quote=Anonymous]Mom to an eleven year-old girl who is strong-willed and has some emotional problems. Her father and I have grown increasingly frustrated with her sense of reality. She always sees or remembers things in ways that are totally off base and usually favorable to her. If we challenge her on it she won't have it, accuses us of lying or not on her side because we don't believe her. It seems as though I often hear her say "I didn't do/say that" or "that's not how it happened" She sort of reminds me of Steve Jobs as he was described in Walter Isaacson's book- there was "Steve's world" and then reality. This is a similar situation. Like Jobs, she is very creative and tempermental. Anyone else have a child or family member like this? It's not only that she is frustrating to deal with but I fear it hurts her relationships with other. [/quote]
