Invisible Child is a 1999 movie starring Rita Wilson as a mother who imagines she has three children when she only has two. Oddly enough, her husband goes along with this charade as though it is perfectly normal. Also sucked into the farce is their 10-year old daughter, who assists her father in facilitating the delusion. Sadly, the younger brother TRULY believes that he has an invisible sister named Maggie. They hire a nanny who initially goes along with the family's unusual situation, but she becomes concerned about the effects on the [real] children and reports the family to child protective services. A legal battle ensues, ending in victory for the family and a rather disturbing conclusion to the movie.
A viewer becomes sucked into this movie thinking that at some point a traumatic incident will be revealed that prompted the mother to "invent" a child. Alas, this is not the case, and viewers come away with more questions than answers, particularly regarding the state of mind of the husband, who for FIVE years went along with such a charade without suggesting (or insisting) that his wife receive psychological help.
