Oh my goodness! I can so identify with this. If someone on TV is 'talking' to her she totally snubs me. If the people of TV are laughing, then it's a reaction to some silly thing she's done. I was wondering if it is a kind of narcissism. It's as though she feels she is the centre of everyone's world. Even if it's not live TV. She also sometimes stops eating a meal because she thinks it rude to eat whilst they are talking to her.Yes, me too, all of the above. And talking to the television, and believing that what's on TV, or in her book, is about our lives. Sometimes I wonder who is more confused, me or Mum!
