I just read Sickened by Julie Gregory. It was a biography of her life with Munchausen By Proxy (MBP) disease. Basically her mother used to make her ill and take her to the doctors - continuously! I mean she went hundreds and hundreds of times. This book chronicles her life and her discovery of MBP when she was in her mid twenties - a riveting but very sad read. I mean I complain about life but in reality I have nothing to complain about compared to others. I just can't imagine a mother wanting her child to be sick (to gain attention themselves). Very sad...
