I'm afraid this hits too close.
I once had a patient years ago, who decided that I was his mother (it took ages before I got him to call me by my correct name), and he denied his real mother and did indeed attack her or try to attack her when he went on a home visit; his father had to take him on visits home while his mother stayed elsewhere. Of course part of it that contributed was that he also had a mild level of mental retardation.
I'm afraid this one is too sad for me,
although if I knew there is a happy conclusion, that would help immensely to get through it. I will try to continue to read additional parts.
