I've recently found out a female relative of mine mid 40s has broke up with her husband for an only fans creator. She's convinced that this man is sending her secret messages in his videos, and that they're in love. This has been going on for around two years.

She's also become friends with a lot of other super fans of this creator, and they're encouraging this 'relationship' for whatever reason.

How do I help her see this is a parasocial relationship, so far she's only reacted badly to anyone telling her she's seeing something that isn't there.

She has sent this man multiple messages, he's obviously not replying to any, but she's convinced it's because he can't or he'd loose his job.
