Okay, I've been lurking for a little while and, of course, am totally addicted.

My reason for interjecting here is that according to a lot of theories about the mind under stress, as we can assume Bree has been in many situations, defense mechanisms pop up to protect you.

In the case of multiple personality disorder (which many folks mistakenly call schizophrenia) the mind is so traumatized by an event or events, e.g. systematic abuse or torture in early childhood, that it creates separate personalities to hide in. This separates the individual from the terrible reality that they go through.

PLUS, and this is cool, the personalities have totally different traits that make them useful in certain situations. So if she is projecting these personalities into her imaginary friends she could actually believe that they are the source of some of her actions. Owen is the sneaky one ("he lies") , the Bree that we see is the sweet, childlike one, etc

Maybe some of you stuffed animal fans can isolate some of the traits or personalities of the animals?

Finally let me say that I LOVE YOU GUYS!! I feels like I knows ya (My mind has created voices and faces for some of you... I guess I'm a little crazy too~)

ya know...

actually now thatI think about it....

I'm gonna have to side with lordgreystoke on this one...

Sure Bree is being immature, and sure he has GOOD reason to be upset...

but when is the Silent Treatment EVER a good solution to ANY problem.

he's being pretty immature himself.
Just TALK to her for god's sake, and tell her why you're upset.

in his defence, however, he's probably just misplacing his anger. blaming bree for the situation...when there's no one to blame really. (except the Mysterious Order). not that it's a legit excuse.

On a sidenote:
I wonder how much Bree's life is really gonna change with the new Silent Treatment...he's not much of a talker anyway

I think people are being too hard on Daniel. He's an 18 year old boy, for craps sake! Have you met an 18 year old boy lately? They are practically little boys still. I know a few and they are still playing video games and watching cartoons. I don't think there are many who would be mature and confident enough to take on this kind of stress and responsibility and not crack a little under the pressure. And it's not like he can really walk out and calm down. Under it all, he still wants to protect Bree.

I think it's to his credit that he's still there at all. I doubt the order would give a crap about him if he just abandoned the whole thing and walked away. He's locked in a room with a girl who swings from giggly silliness to crying for hours. Personally, I'd have gagged her and stuck her in a closet long ago!

(I think it's crap that they are considered old enough to go to war or sign a legal contract--there is scientific proof that your brain has not developed enough to make major life decisions until you are in your 20's)

just to say, i've just watched one of my favourite films 'empire of the sun'

and it had a scene in it that reminded me of this video

what happens is a young christian bale is is the life and soul of a refugee came as he trys to keep active and make life bearible dispite the awful situation, at one point after he starts cheering watching an airraid then suddenly starts obsesing about the affects of said air raid and the doct he is talking to tell him to 'stop thinking so much' as its not healthy at which point he kind of breaks down and says 'I cant remember what my parent look like' in tears

i havent decribed it well but if you've seen the fil you'll know what i mean. basically bree is trying to cope by doing her fun videos with her stuffed animals as she cant bare to think about what happened to her parents.

if daniel pushes her to far it could break her, so he should be careful and take into account why she acts the way she does

Or maybe Bree actually knows that her parents are fine and has no need to worry. Maybe her job is to just keep Daniel busy and by her side until it's time for the real ceremony.
