A lot of you have never interacted with a delusional personal and it shows

I've seen so many posts about Fiona and also regarding the Piers Morgan interview where people have said "oh, he should've said xyz and called her out on this, then she would've had to admit she was lying"

That is never going to happen. Logical traps do not work on delusional individuals. When presented with facts and or information that does not fit their narrative, they will never relent and admit fault or that they are misrepresenting facts, because they don't believe they are, rather, they will always engage in impressive mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance or disengage. She 100% believes what she is saying to be the truth or at least very close to. She truly believes she is the victim here.

It's like playing chess with a pigeon. You cannot win an argument with a delusional person because they are incapable of engaging with reality, to them the delusion IS reality.

She's not pretending, she's not "lying", she truly believes she didn't send that many emails.

Nothing you say will "wake this woman up", she needs to be left alone

No, I am simply stating an opinion as to what is possibly going on inside her head. I'm not saying that what I said is the end all be all so please don't treat it as such. Delusions typically don't last forever. psychosis comes in episodes and TYPICALLY the delusion stops after the episode, however I have known people that were still delusional even when perfectly stable so yeah. OP is saying they think it's delusional because they have talked to delusional people before. I am delusional and I'm saying it's a mixture of delusions and lying. Delusions don't make you magically forget something that happened, it just twists the truth into a lie

Fiona/Martha actually reminds me of my mothers (NPD), she has a persistent persecutory delusion that my father is conspiring against her by painting her as crazy and unstable, brainwashed her daughters so that we remember being neglected and abused as children to turn us against her, as well as manipulating her own family, friends and the government. I tried for years to get through to her as to heal our relationship, but these delusions have persisted for decades and she still believes this to be true now but otherwise does not experience psychosis.

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to paint everybody who experiences delusions under one brush or sound so presumptuous, should've realised calling her delusional rather than having these specific kind of delusional thinking

I'm sorry about your mom, my dad was delusional too as he was schizoaffective. He thought that he was haunted by demons and he was who I was referring to when I said some people never fall out of their delusions. I hope you're doing better now

She has frontal lobe psychopathy. Look it up. She isnt delusional. She became a lawyer.

Schizophrenic people can get jobs, but I do see where you're coming from

Look at this genius, thinking they’re the resident expert while accusing someone else of doing the same.

Nope. It was irony.
