Has anyone ever heard of this?
Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome
The reason why I ask is that as days go by I'm really beginning to feel like the mother of my child may be causing/wanting my daughter to be ill. Or maybe she just wants her to be sick so she can blame it on me. It seems every time I give my daughter back to her mother I get a phone call from her accusing me of getting her sick. Usually that same night or the night after. Usually if my daughter were to be getting sick here in 90% of the cases the symptom of fever, cough, urine infections, or what not are never observed over here and more than likely the symptoms would take more than just a few hours or even 24 hours to surface.
There have been times she takes my daughter to the doctor with some unknown illness only to find there isn't anything wrong with her. Her mother fits the profile to the T and I'm not the only one that believe this. Even her family history is concurrent with the symptoms.
I don't know if she is doing this because she is trying to build a case against me or if she really is mentally ill.
So how do I go about reporting this? Should I tell my pediatrician? I've accused her of it in the past so it's not like she doesn't know that I'm suspicious. I know that MBPS is really hard to diagnose. I just wanted to know if anyone else have had to deal with it. If so how did you go about it?
