That’s literally the most cruel story I’ve seen this year I hope no one would have to go through this. Remember it will be okay❤

When you cause a relative or your child to suffer it's actually called münchausen by proxy. I met someone who grew up with a mother with this condition. He didn't get into details but one can only imagine the hell he went through.

This kind of abuse is not limited to parent/child relationships, it can happen in the workplace too. I had an abusive boss who was always criticizing the work I did, saying how I'd done it incorrectly, and she isolated me by trying to control who I talked to in other departments. I was told "you will be held responsible for what you say outside the office". More than once I was offered pay raises to prevent me from quitting (which may seem like a good deal at first, but nothing is worth staying in a toxic workplace like that). I was also "threatened" by that boss telling me that if I quit, my next job would require a much longer commute (which was partly correct, but it's better to commute than be in such a place). To anyone going through such a thing I say: don't be afraid to expand your wings and fly. I pretty much guarantee you will not regret it.

It's a sad story. I once tried to help a person once when this mother had her daughter who had terminal illness. When I heard the story I informed her through DM that I was praying for her and daughter she thanked me when she got the message. When the day came she took her daughter to the hospital, the doctors said that her daughter was doing fine and is healthy. The mother wasn't convinced and still believed that her daughter's still sick. Right now I don't know what happened after the hospital but I'm hoping for the best that daughter gets help away from her mother.

I didn't get meantly abuse by my parents but by my brother I really hatted it I'm just glad I moved in with my sister so I don't have to deal with him anymore

[AlexiosMarkopoulos]

Wow, this really hit home for me. I had a lot of issues with Munchausen syndrome when I was a kid, and looking back, I realize it was a way to cope with the emotional neglect and manipulation from my parents. They would often gaslight me into believing something was wrong with me, so I’d end up convincing myself I was sick, just to get some attention or care. It was a messed up cycle of trying to get validation and comfort from the very people who should’ve been supporting me. It’s crazy how deeply abusive environments can shape our minds, even in ways we don’t fully understand at the time. I’ve spent a lot of years working through it, and I’m grateful for the therapy and support I’ve gotten. To anyone else who's been through something similar—you're not alone, and you don’t deserve to be made to feel like you’re crazy or broken.

Stay strong everyone, you've been doing more than enough, it'll be okay. ❤

My parents made me sick when I was a kid. My dad didn't like who his boss was in the Army, so to get out of the deployment he needed a hardship. This went on for 3 years. I have no problem with what Gypsy did. I hope she gets better.

[MyFu]

Thats very cruel. Im happy i have a family that loves me treats me nice

[trinaq]

Poor Gypsy, you can't blame her for wanting to kill her own mother, who was a nasty piece of work.

03:15 Hit so different.

I've told friends of mine what kind of abuse I've been through and what opinions my parents keep towards them. Basically telling them the truth about their mask and how they try to keep up with the shit they are doing.

And they didn't believe me ...

[FM-qmxs]

I was a victim of this throughout childhood. Not as severe as Gypsy but it still messed me up for life. My mother got me diagnosed with and medicated for ADHD, convinced everyone that I was delayed in many ways and I was put in special classes at school. There were blood tests, IQ tests, special diets and exercises. I was socially isolated believing that there was something terribly wrong with me that separated me from my peers and even my siblings. I was constantly emotionally abused and if I cried my mother would claim I was having mood swings and would use it as evidence there was something wrong with me. She almost got me diagnosed with bipolar because of her claims. I still struggle with figuring out what is true or not because of the way she distorted my reality and made me and everyone around me believe what she wanted. I have severe and debilitating anxiety from it all.

i never understand how surgeons can clear doing surgery when all tests show that they don’t need it

[nauzdrajka.]

Its really sad that theres more then one story like





But i hope they all have a good end❤

[nandinirm]

Please give such psychological insights on all sorts of murder cases

[Imtoobusyslayingrn]

Parental Abuse is no joke..
I had to grow up with soo much anxiety because I was taught I could never achieve anything if my mother wasn't there..
So much trauma and neglect but it just means you were able to carry this cross :)

God loves you and don't ever give up! ❤

[Yuhuhnuhuh]

I'm still confused that someone can even do something like this. How do you even think about it like this?
