777, True. Have a Master's in Spec.Ed., and saw several cases where the parents were trying to convince us their child was handicapped.

What's the difference between this and a hypochondriac? Or is it an example of a hypochondriac?

777, Indeed! One of the most notorious cases is this of DeeDee Blanchard and her daughter Gypsy Rose. Didn't end well at all

A lot of you are talking about Munchausen By Proxy. That is where the parent makes their child sick to get attention & sympathy. They may have a disorder but they are plain evil! One mother killed her little boy & the hospital caught her last act of pouring salt into his tube, I forget if it was an IV or a feeding tube, on camera!

Either way it sounds like a mental health issue. That is if its not an undiagnosed condition. Doctors still know very little about the human body or mind

Student for life, No it is not. Manipulation is used by someone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and often the easiest way manipulate someone is to pretend sickness.

777, I actually lived through that terrible night mare...or I should say my stepson LIVED it because of his disturbed mother starting at the age of 4.... poor poor boy. I Divorced after 11 yrs. What a an evil woman. I still think about him and miss him every day but I know that as long as he is around that kind of tainted soul.... he will always struggle to find his way back to me. xo je t'aime Mon t'i gars pour toujours!
