You may not believe in Munchausens by Proxy, either due to some weird parental paranoia, or just because you distrust the medical professionals out there. But I promise you exists. My mother had this when I was a child. She was desperate for attention and used to be convinced I was dying every time I got the sniffles. She moved onto creating illnesses for me. More than once she injected me with small amounts of drugs to make me collapse. She broke my arm, she injected me with animal blood, she drugged me, she did everything she could to fabricate more illnesses.
If it wasn't for the 'baby snatchers' you all decry, I'd be dead right now. As it happens, I do have various recurring problems from what she did to me. So don't let your fear and ignorance get in the way of understanding a real, serious, mental disorder. It's out there people.
