My 15 year old daughter has had a real love of Gary barlow for some months now and it has been ticking along fine as she has gathered her collection of dvd's, books and cd's but because of the problems she has she doesnt really have an understanding of the real world. Tonight she was talking about things she would like for christmas and one of them was to meet gary barlow and have her picture taken, also to audition for the x factor, amongst other things, these are her dreams she says. She had a real go at me tonight for telling her that although its nice to have dreams, these things arent always practical and may not always come true, and now i am a bad dad cos i dont understand her world. This is the first time i have ever been stuck for help as i dont know what to tell her as she feels nobody understands her and that we are all being unfair. This obsession is really getting out of hand and her grasp of reality is practically non existant, her understanding seems to be getting worse over the months as there have been issues in school too. Anyone have any advice that might help?
