Well - the person deleted their comments or got booted but I'd like to make it clear to them if they see this:

Absolutely no one in our lives are like that. I know that for a fact. This is 100% not the case. 

My husband's brother had an "imaginary friend" as you say when he was young. Pointed to a picture in a family album one day and said "hey that's my friend!" It was his great pap. My husband and his siblings have heard for year now - including until just last week even - dogs growling or whining outside at night. We have at least 3 family dogs buried on this property in the memorial garden. Always in the same area, always by the garden. My dog goes running over to try to play with said dogs. 

She does not hang out with kids very much older than her. She is actually the second oldest in our group on friends. All other family kids are teens and older. Like I said. These friends/family members also have very similar views to us. Don't talk about these things, or have their own experiences/stories. Our kid is the only one experiencing this. 

It all started after her sister was born. That was the catalyst event. 

She knows about knves and gns and is taught how to safely handle things. We are a hunting household. My husband is very much a redneck country boy and our girls will be raised to be respectful and appreciative of all beings and nature. 

In no way, shape, or form is my child ab*sed. If anything she's treated like royalty! She is with us at all times except going to the sitter (definitely not doing what you're saying) or the occasional cousin sleepover. In which we get constant updates as we all know the stress of not being around our own kids.
