    I agree in parts Mystic.
    We don't really know what's wrong with them.
    That's the trouble with cyberspace, you cannot just grab them and get them into treatment.
    Also i find that some support boards on illnesses will try and convince you that the person you have been dealing with has that disorder. They are really marketing that disorder for their own gain.

    I can relate to a lot on this page. http://www.geocities.com/lycium7/cyberpath.html

    The bit you said about the contact with the fingers I can understand. I can see the bond there with the keyboard and the eye contact. My homepage was acting as his reality.
    After about five years I have taken off my homepage. It was something i enjoyed because i met a lot of very nice people around the world through having a homepage. Yet it was also giving him something to feed off of coming in everyday. So i am not really sure if I was helping him or enabling him by having it there.

    I was pushed and pulled by people telling me that you cannot help them, to others telling me that i should help.
    My gut instinct as a Registered Nurse was telling me that he needed help by all the strange signs he would leave me. Like dumping his props when he would leave after pretending to be another character. (Personality)

    A psychic told me I should have known what to do.
    I wish i did.
