[@neko_chan1598]

@@chrisidornigie I think you kinda underestimate what the father was going through. Not only did he lose his kid a year ago but he had to deal with the fact that his wife was not really alright mentally after it (and who would be, honestly). His wife was in a sweet delusion, so mentally she was not even aware that the kid was dead (or not to a conscious point). Life is full of harsh realities, and we seek relief from them in a variety of pleasing delusions, that is something that can be applied here. But the man had to play the role again to see the whole "scene" unfold before his eyes again when they had to take her out of her delusion. In short, they both suffered, and really in a real-life scenario, no one should go through that (even tho it happens).

[@akitoherinton8249]

As an adult who has a baby doll that goes everywhere with me, I've seen many different reactions to having her with me. And personally, I'm quite impressed with how the doctors there handled the situation even before knowing exactly what was going on. They didnt just kick her out, they actually tried to help. So. Good on them. Incase anyone was wondering why I have my baby doll, I have autism. As well as a few other things that we know are there but they haven't been officially diagnosed yet. My baby helps with communication, she helps with staying calm especially in shopping centres and cars and stuff like that where it can get extremely overstimulating. And she provides a little bit of companionship, I guess? I think it's also related to early childhood trauma that I got. Unlike the lady in this video, I know my baby isn't real. But she wears real baby clothes and she has her own personality and if she gets hurt I get upset. Stuff like that. So.. she's real to me, even though I know she isn't technically alive. Now, please don't reply to this with anything negative, I get enough of that just leaving my house with baby. I'm only posting this to say my opinion on the video, and explain why I have that opinion so that people understand. If you don't like it, just leave me alone..

To understand the mother you need to understand how grief works. I finally got work just before my benefits ran out. My boss was quadraplegic and I had to drive his van. I turned too quickly and his wheelchair tipped. Soon after that my boss died of a nosebleed. I had to go to the office, call his patients to cancel the appointments. I still cleared the snow from the wheelchair ramp and kept his office door closed. At the funeral i was convinced it was a celebration tribute. I did not sleep for a week. Sometimes grief is powerful enough that the mind just will not accept it. What Dr. Charles did was recognize that and help her get closure. Good episode.
