Gypsy Rose
The terrible and incredible story of a woman and her daughter unfolded in the states. A mental illness called Munchausen syndrome has shaken the whole neighbourhood. The mother has been "treating" her daughter for a long time from fictional diseases. Everyone considered Dee Dee Rose the best mother since she did not abandon her terminally ill daughter to the mercy of fate.
The mother sincerely believed that her daughter was suffering from a huge number of diseases. Among them were asthma, epilepsy, developmental delay, allergies, various pathologies and even leukaemia. Diagnoses were made by doctors, from the words of the mother. She came up with all the new symptoms for the girl, and ultrasound studies, blood tests were allegedly constantly lost. The girl spent her life in a wheelchair and ate using a probe. In addition, she took dozens of medications and slept in an oxygen mask. The mother constantly shaved the girl bald. This lifestyle deprived the girl of socialisation. She was homeschooled. The truth was revealed when the mother's body was found in the apartment. She was dead. The girl was found there and it turned out that she was not 12 years old, but 21 years old. After the investigation, it turned out that the girl's mother invented diagnoses, falsified documents to elicit sympathy and recognition from neighbours and doctors.
She was considered a heroine's mother for a long time. As a result, doctors diagnosed the mother with a delegated form of Munchausen syndrome. It differs from a simple syndrome in that the object invents diseases not for himself but for his child or the person who is under his care. In addition to the need for recognition, the girl's mother had selfish goals. In many states, she was convicted, as a result, she lived on the funds she received from the state to care for her sick daughter. She didn't work.
At the same time, the girl's life is only an illusion which over the years has made her what she is. Not having a normal family model, without knowledge of both good and bad things, it is difficult for the girl to socialise. It is also difficult for her to build relationships with the opposite sex after being under the control of her mother for a long time. The fate of the girl is complicated because it is very difficult to truly become an adult and independent. She does not know how to provide and serve herself. The mother's overprotection left her as a child forever.
