We desperately want to believe them, because we desperately want them to get better. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, it's a normal response to a loved ones distress.

But, we aren't dealing in normals here. I keep foremost in my mind at all times that he's not sane, that I'm dealing with a crazy person. That helps me detach from the situation as best as I can.
