Is It Normal?
What do you think?
I like people to think my niece is my daughter..
I have no children never having met Mrs. Right and have always wanted a daughter. My eight year old neice is always what I fantasized my daughter would be like. She even looks like me.

Since my family doesn't live near by I can get away with pretending to strangers she is my daughter. I have an extra key chain with her picture on it that says I Love You Daddy. SO when I leave my car at garages or get oil changes or whatever the workers assume she's my girl.

I keep several pictures of her on my desk so that when people visit our office they will think she is my daughter. Same at home whenever I have cleaners or any strangers stop by. Some times I even pretend to be talking to and about her on a cell phone when people are around.

I think my sister her the rest of my family would be very angry if they found out about this charade and it makes me feel guilty.

So sometimes I wonder if this is okay to do this since its not really hurting anyone and it makes me appear to the outside world to have a more full filling life.

If it's a situation you know your sister and the rest of your family would be very angry if they found out about, that's usually a good indication that that is not a good thing to be doing.
Why can you not be proud to have a lovely niece instead of a lovely daughter? Or work on getting your own daughter? You don't need to have the "Mrs. Right". There are many alternatives that would allow you the privelage.

You seem to be living in a fantasy world and can't face reality or deal with it. Fantasies are ok if you use it as an occasional escape but should not be used in excess or if it causes harm or distress to others.

It's not ok to use fantasy if it effects others in a negative manner. Find an alternative that is reality, not a fantasy. Donate your time to children who are in need of an adult, look into adoption of a child in need. It's best to stop using your neice as an outlet to fill your void or desires. Plain and simple it is manipulative and wrong.

You know what I think? you are a perv and when the kid gets older you are going to try and have a relationship with her because she really isn't your daughter. I think you are sick and need help.
