News of Munchausen by Proxy

Hi, I'm new here and I would like some advice on whether or not this is MBP.

My mother in law has two children who are still at home. In the years that I've known this family, both her and the two kids at home have had numerous medical situations ranging from cancer scares, ADHD, OCD, Asburgers, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, various gastrointestinal issues and near kidney failure. These kids have been in and out of the ...

My dad is flying out to see me in a few weeks, and I plan to tell him about my mother's involvement/fabrication of my childhood illness. I'm 30 now. She's a saint to him still... the poor woman who stayed home and took care of the sick child and then died of cancer.

Are there others here who had their... umm what's the best word... perpetrator? die when they were fairly young?

Have you "come ...

Hi there,

Thank you for allowing me to join your forum.

I apologise for the length of this post, but I am concerned for my niece and nephews' welfare.

My question is in relation to a female family member. We, the extended family, are beginning to believe that something isn't right. Some years ago, out of the blue, my 7 year old niece was diagnosed with OCD. Prior to this diagnosis we had not noticed ...

She'll be here tomorrow. We only just found out today that she was 3 hours south of us.

How to tell this quickly...? Nevermind - it can't be done quickly. <sigh>

My husband was briefly taken in by a family in an informal 'foster' situation that is complicated and irrelevant to this. Nanna and Papa D were really there for him when he needed them and he loved them greatly. After I married him, I ...

Hello. Just to introduce myself- I am a father of four lovely children and one stepson. So, my wife and I have a large blended family of yours mine and ours. Oldest son(1) is mine, son 2 is hers, daughter 1 is mine, daughter 2 and son 3 are ours. We have had to face many obstacles with having a blended family and with the ex's, but have a great family, regardless of the stress. ...

I am curious as to who here is still in touch, or not, with their family, and in particular with the MSBP perpetrator. My own situation is that my mother was the perpetrator, and while my family presumably didn't guess what happened back then (although I think some suspected), they continued to support her as she continued to be emotionally abusive to me throughout my life. I moved hundreds of miles away, but continued to ...

I wanted to ask you guys about the significant people in your lives who have a need for you to be sick. Right now I'm the least sick. I'm actually not sick. I'm doing great. I may have a boil on my leg but that's healing fast. So I'm off to doctor to get more skin creams next week. I'm about ready to start a part-time job should that manifest.

I'm in short, doing fabulously ...

The other day I was pondering...as I often do lately...about how I got to where I am these days.
My life is nothing like I would've imagined - or even how I had it.
Sure, there are many things that have been factors.
Coming from a MSBP mother complicates things. Dealing with a family that has been greatly swayed by her ill influence (I've been known to say that my mother could lead her own ...

Hi everyone, I'm new. A few years ago I realised that what went on in my childhood was quite likely MBP. I doubt I'll ever know for sure, and I never have remembered all that much of my childhood anyway (and people have occasionally commented that this suggests trauma), but my mother's behaviour into adulthood has been peculiar beyond belief on the subject of illness. A year ago I broke off all contact with her, ...

It feels like no one's here.
