Scenario

When you create an AI version of an abusive parent to have the relationship you never had

I created an AI version of my abusive father before he died to try to have the relationship I never had, but now I'm getting attached to this idealized version and feeling guilty about rejecting the real person.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
