I am running a SEM, and I have 6 variables which will load onto two factors (positive and negative mental health). However, this model does not meet a good model fit. When I allow depression to load onto both factors, the model fit meets model fit criteria. I want to use this as a latent variable in a SEM.

I have been told previously that a variable can be allowed to factor onto two factors, but I am struggling to find anything to back this up. Does anyone have any more knowledge on this?

Thank you in advance.
