The Munchausen Diary

Is it possible to love too much? Can you love someone so much that making them a little sick is ok in order to protect them? One of the most disturbing mental disorders is called Munchausens by Proxy Syndrome. When someone has Munchausens, they intentionally make themselves sick in order to feel sympathy. In Munchausen by Proxy, parents seek out the same need of feeling sympathized for, but instead, they make their children sick to gain that sympathy. This is the diary of one such case.
