Just want some quick guidance - opinion-
Monique is hallucinating badly during the night and morning - sometimes her mother with her but frequently a group of friends who are 'good company' - at night I normally just say 'your dreaming - come back to bed' and that seems to work - cos its dark.
In the morning - daylight - in the living room when she asks me where they have gone I am divided between the 'dreaming' answer and 'they went home' They'll be back later' - my problem with the latter two is if she realises what I am saying is nonsense then her trust will be diminished..... Or is it if she asks the question - where are they? she so believes their existence that a fobbing off answer is perfectly acceptable? ---- funny as I write this I think I know the answer is - 'They have gone home, will be back later' - I think!
