Well, she "loves" him BECAUSE she feels that she is accepted by him. He could be the worst guy in the world IRL - throws his wet towels on the floor or something else that SHE absolutely could not accept - but she doesnt have that information available to her because of the nature of the t relationship. So her love is literally infantile, isnt it? The way an infant loves a good enough caretaker? Thats MY projection!
Eta - is it "real"? Its one sided, its limited, its immature, its needy, its not reciprocal. So it depends on what you mean by real.
