This is the most obvious case of Munchausen By Proxy I have ever seen. I hope that young lady becomes aware one day of what really happened to her. From what I understand she is still in the fog of denial. I can understand why. It took me 50 years to realize that this had happened to me.
Do you know how hard it is to accept that your mother did not care about you at all? To realize that she endangered your life and essentially tortured you by proxy when you were very young and at your most vulnerable. Many women with this disorder kill their children. Many women don't. They are the ones who get away with it most often. All those surgeries, doctors visits and thermometers up your butt were all for her? All for attention. HER attention! So that she can feel important and look knowledgeable to doctors and nurses. As well as deriving constant attention and sympathy from friends and family is also key.
Your illnesses become the focus of every conversation. People who have munchausen syndrome feign their own illnesses for this attention. Many of them cross over and do it to their children or the elderly by proxy. It is truly the most cruel and abusive think a mother can do.
It is hard for others to believe and conceive that this person who spent all their time "worrying" about you and "caring" for you "selfelessly" could have done it for any reason other than love. A healthy mind from a functional family would surely find this concept difficult if not impossible to grasp.
Then consider all the outsiders who became involved in this hysteria. The doctors who preformed the surgeries. The nurses who administered unnecessary medications and treatments. The friends and family who listened and commiserated with the mother. The father... was he just trying to keep the mother happy and keep the narcissistic sociopath focused on someone other than him? How can these people accept the truth? There are all kinds of ramifications. Legal, ethical, moral, and spiritual. Who wants to admit that this happened. No one wants a finger pointed at them.
No involved would say to the daughter, do you know what your mother did to you? The question I would like to ask people from my past would be, "if you knew, why didn't you do or say anything?"
My mother had Munchausen By Proxy. Oddly enough my father who died due to malpractice, died in this same hospital that the daughter, Jennifer Bush was in. Along with the doctors the hospital admitted guilt by settling the law suit out of court. It is of no surprise to me that this same hospital enabled Kathy Bush to medically abuse her daughter.
