"my child is fine" your lonely-ass child has spent so much time maladaptively daydreaming about a nonexistent romantic partner that they've imagined almost every possible scenario and will never be satisfied with any partner in real life because no one will ever compare to their fictional significant other and anyone who could will take too long to reach a level of trust and intimacy that will satisfy their agonizing desire to love and be loved

Might fuck around and create a fantasy world in my mind to distract myself from the pressures of reality.

“Pen and paper bleed color across my heart– The silliest and most tragic love ever known Scorned by the artist, I fall for fiction, Pine for that which cannot reciprocate, And grapple at the unattainable; How cruel, this teasing of my affections, That I should see, and hear, and feel you! But never grasp the warmth of your skin.”

— Me, from my poem, Pitiful Infatuation

“My child is fine!”

Your child literally cannot function without making up and playing out fictional fantasies in their head, disconnecting from reality and therefore not getting anything done because it’s a way for them to cope with reality and the trauma they haven’t been able to address.
