yep...it happens. She made her choice, evidently freely and according to her needs. My brother did much the same......I don't agree with him, but it suits him. He tried preaching a bit to me...briefly.. *grin*, before I made it clear I was a hopeless case. In his case, religion is sorta what saved him from drugs, alcohol and spending money like water. I don't know if what he had qualifies as a 'mental illness', but he sure was a mess for a few years.
