Me, too. I'm 22, and have physically rescued myself. I'm in therapy and all, but I do still wish for it. I think it's normal. In my conversation with my T, I came to the conclusion that although my imaginary parents were fake, they were real in some ways. They embodied the hope I had of things changing and they gave me love and care. In those ways they were real, at least to me. It would make sense that you and I still want them. Just because people turn 18, it doesn't mean they stop wanting or needing their parents.
