We've just moved house and DS has just started talking about someone called 'Tim'. He talks about him all the time, does drawings for him, sets aside food for him, etc etc. We don't know anyone with this name! I know lots of kids have imaginary friends but I find it really, really creepy. DS is 2 yrs and 8 months and it's only been the last month. Not sure how to react to it :/ we have a history of severe mental illness in our family, so part of me thinks I find it so distressing is because it reminds me of someone being psychotic (one of my biggest fears is that he will get schizophrenia like so many of his relatives); the other part of me thinks he's made friends with a ghost! Is / was anyone else spooked by the lo having an imaginary friend? Thanks x
