How Can Munchausen Syndrome Be Treated?
My mother has Munchhausen Disease. She abused me, as well as herself. Is there a possibility that she has both Munchhausen and Munchhausen-by-proxxy? Also, is there any possible way she could come to a reality that she is hurting us? She thinks what she did is right, when we all know it isn t. Thanks!
