munchausens by proxy?


Written on October 23, 2009 – 4:30 pm | by Drug Abuse Help

how do i explain to people the munchausens disease by proxy my parents have? they victimized me most of my life and put me through some very crazy things.
if your not aware of what munchausens disease by proxy is, its when parents or a parent or caregiver pretends their child is sick and they use their child to get attention from doctors and healthcare workers. any type of healthcare worker. including mental health there have been cases of parents using the mental health system in their munchausen by proxy
many parents go far and research symptoms to tell doctors and make up symptoms insisting their child had them and describing things about their child that are not true. they will go far sometimes to make their child sick such as poison their child or switch test results. they like the pity they get from thinking their child is sick
they do this for attention but each case varies. anyways the parents pretend their child has an illness or multiple ilnesses, sometimes they change the story each time or go from doctor to doctor to convince doctors each time that something else is wrong with their child, they put their child through extensive medical tests and medications at times if they do a good enough job convincing doctors such as switching medical tests.
anyways when i was a small child they did this to me medically, i came down with infections after i remember my mother doing something to me and she took me to dozens of hospitals and specialists and tests. but then that stopped and when i became a teenager they started taking me to mental institutions and lying about me and making things up

i dont have a mental illness or any symptoms of any mental illness. i dont come off as a mentally ill person and no one would believe if i told them i was in 1 mental hospital.
i havent taken any medication in 8 years, which is good and my physical health is much better now, i lost weight and gained back neurological health. my parents are still starting up with me and my father used all of that to go to court against me and gained adult guardianship of me based on his lies and all the munchausens things
im afraid and want to explain this to someone

how do i explain this and get someone to believe me that the mental health record i have built up is because of my parents munchausens disease by proxy and not because i actually had 20 mental illnesses which are uncurable and magically today i dont have them?
the stuff they were saying about me are lifetime things and anyone evualting me today would say i dont have them and never had them
but my father likes to get ahold of people and tell his lies, hes very convincing and is a psychopath andf has naracasistic personlity disorder
my parents also physically abused me growing up and sexually abused me. so they are extremely unsafe people for me to be assosciating with as adults. but theres a court order forcing me to, even tho i dont talk to my parents. they wont talk to me all they do is scream so we havent had a conversation in a long time, many years

he only went to court against me to cause me trouble and to get even with me, those are what he said
what can be done

how do i tell people how he convinced and fooled an entire community of mental health "experts" and psychiatric hospitals and psychiatrists.

how do i get anyone to believe me because it is the truth

he tricked a court evaluator also, who is supposed to be a forensic psychologist and he should be fired because he stinks at his job, he got it all wrong, he wrote down on the paper everything my father said as if it was the truth and i have evidence against it that the both of them lied

    Go to a doctor or counselor and ask them for guidance, they don’t even have to know about your past. There’s always patient confidentiality.

    As a mental health worker, I can assure you that we rarely take the parents word for the child’s condition. Many times, the child is healthier than the parents. The child is the "identified" patient. Meaning, the child exhibits symptoms of an unhealthy family.
    You are an adult now. I would suggest you try to find a mental health worker that you trust.
    Has anyone diagnosed munchausens by proxy? Or have YOU diagnosed it….. Try to find a therapist you are comfortable with because if you are right about your parents - you need help dealing with that. If you are wrong about your parents… You need help with your concerns.
    My best to you! .
