On another thread-"Intelligent Female"- there has been a discussion of Truble's mental health. She's been told since age 12 to 14 that she is crazy, been committed several times, being homeless and apparently friendless for years, I would guess has been on several diets of drugs to cure her problem. All of a sudden she meets people who see what she sees, have books showing these critters as real, even meets a couple of monsters who do not try to kill her but counsel her. How then could she be suddenly act normal? In my experience those who are reality challenged have been on drugs that helped, but they do not like the side effects. Once she experiences confirmation-Monroe and Rosalee woging - she knows she is not alone, and needs to begin developing social skills, like eating with other people. I see her rapid development to feeling and acting "normal" believable .
