“I am a 49 year old survivor of Munchausen by Proxy. My mother, a nurse, made me into her ultimate patient because my father would not let her practice her profession. My father and my brothers and sisters enabled this abuse, which nearly killed me on more than occasion, and left me with severe, chronic physical conditions along with severe PTSD. My original poem which follows is my fight song.
I want the world to see…
I want the world to see what mother has done to me;
I want the world to see…
I want the world to see how my father sacrificed me;
I want the world to see…
I want the world to see how my sisters bullied me;
I want the world to see…
I want the world to see how my brothers never defended me;
I want the world to see…
HOW NONE OF THIS WAS EVER ME!”
