Hi I'm new account here; came here about my mother. Wondering how to cope with someone who might have MSBP, any other forums of survivors. She fits the form for being a nurse and appearing oh-so-motherly to the doctors when she took me from doctor to doctor as a kid, being so dramatic at me about the bills she has to pay as abuse happens behind the scenes and she just can't understand why her ...

Hi,

I came across this forum after trying to find some information and support for MnBP survivors. I am a survivor of MnBP. I see a therapist every 2 weeks to cope with a lot of stuff, she says I suffer from PTSD resulting from years of emotional, mental and medical abuse.

To put things as short as I ...

Hi everyone,

new here, of course found you on Google...an MBP support group is something I've been wanting to get around to looking for, since (almost a decade ago) a psychiatrist I've been seeing told me I'd never been 'sick' at all, but that he recognized my mom had been manipulating me emotionally since I was a kid (sadly, he was the last in a long string of doctors I'd been forced to see since ...

I am so confused about the reality of my family and whether or not my mom has this syndrome. I am in my early twenties and have three other siblings. My older brother is fine with his health and has moved out. The only thing I would say about him is that he is very negative and can only converse with my mom when it comes to all the negative things in his life. We ...

any way one night someone ...

I'm aware that MBP means that a caregiver claims that the person in their care is ill. This isn't completely about a caregiver but nonetheless a family member and I didn't know where else to post it.

In short, when I was younger a family member claimed I was anorectic and convinced one of my friends and my father, with whom I had almost no contact at the time, to believe this story. Finally my ...

Hi! This is my first time here and I was wondering if I could get some insight into a situation affecting our family. I didn’t know who to turn to and this site seemed appropriate and any help is appreciated. Here’s the story, sorry to be long winded.
Basically I speak on behalf of many family members who are very concerned that the new addition, a 3 week old little girl cute as can be ...
