Topic : 10/11 Munchausen Mom

I am 27 years old and also a survivor of MSBP.  My mother denies she ever did anything wrong.  She will deny it forever.  I actually do have an illness but she made it much, much worse to the point where I was on what she likes to call "my death bed".  My medical charts show that she repeatedly refused giving me the necessary medications that would have saved me a lot of pain.  I was given VERY clear warnings by her not to tell the doctors (or my father) that I wasn't taking those meds.  She is a master manipulator.  She is a pathological liar.  She knew all the medical terminology.  She had the doctors wrapped around her little finger.  She wouldn't leave me alone for a minute.  I spent so much time in hospitals... My medical charts are about 2 feet high.  She was the poor grieving mom of a sick kid and everyone pitied her. 

 

DOBIKINZ:  I would also like to find some kind of group for survivors.  If you want to message me, do not hesitate to do so.   For me, the worst part about all this is that I TRUSTED my mother so much....... I'm trying very hard to deal with the abuse (I suffer from PTSD because of this).  I still fear that she will "get me" somehow, too.  Believe me, I understand all too well.   

 My whole family watched your show today in anticipation of getting some information regarding the help that these people need.  We are a large, loving family who have witnessed what we believe is the destruction of the emotional well being, and physical danger of our young teenage neice.  Our sister-in-law is a very well educated RN in the mental health field with years of mental "tragedies" in her own family, and we have witnessed her destroying her young daughter.  She has told us stories of behaviors of her daughter that only she sees. She has related "episodes" to highly regarded pschiatrists at the institution where she works of her daughters behaviors, told them the medication that she thinks she should be on, and has trialed a miriad of dangerous pharmaceuticals on her.  I tried to intervene when she told us that her daughter can't handle any more family functions and is on a medication called clozaril. I know that to be a very dangerous drug not to be administered unless strict medical guidelines and follow up are in place.  She has not spoken to any of us since this encounter months ago, and we are all very upset and worried about our neice.  We were hoping you could direct us more clearly to a hotline or more information than buying yet another book.  Any insight as to where we can go from here would be greatly appreciated.

Thats is exactly what the goverment should do!! The world would be better off without people like her in it!!

 

   I've tried to help a 2nd generation victim of MBP for  such a  long time.

 

  The perpetrator is too convincing. She has fooled every kind of expert you can imagine.

Just like the mother in your story. I think she could get away with almost anything.

 

  It's amazing that mothers with MBP ever get caught. They are so convincing. And people assume that victims like me, are crazy, lying or ungrateful.

 

 

 

 

I have a concern.  My son (Who has high functioning autism) has been dating a girl.  I had wanted to meet with her parents months ago but was always given as excuse as to why we couldn't meet.  I finanly got to meet them to plan "The baby shower"   Come to find out, the woman I met with  is her birth mother not adoptive mother (I was told her parents and brother died in a car accident) and this girl has somatic disorder.  99% of the information my son told me about her is untrue, yet he believes it  because what she says is golden to him.   He believes she had a tumor removed from her brain and now has epilepsy.  The due date has now been moved up 6 weeks which tells me the baby probably is not my sons.  this girl has been to the hospital at least 8 times since her pregnancy began.  She even had her appendix out!.  She has even approached me about my son possibly being bipolar or having blackouts and wants for him to have a psychiatric eval.  What chance does this baby have?  How can someone from the outside intervene?

I would say what Tracey was doing was pretty high on the cold and heartless scale, the sad thing is, she is planning to do more. Shes preggers again. It sucks really

im not sure if this web site will answer all your questions but i hope it can help.

These children don't ask to be born. Who is going to come in and protect them when they are being abused on purpose?? Why won't the courts take a firmer stand and educate themselves on MSBP??

These women are in total denial. I don't feel sorry for them if and when they do get caught. Womens rights?? What about childrens rights??

here's some web site i have found that you could read to learn more
