Maternal Love and Evil - They let their children starve, administer medications to them, nearly suffocate them, or break their bones. Mothers suffering from the so-called "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy" (also known as MBPS) secretly but deliberately harm their healthy children. In doing so, they force medical treatment and gain the attention of doctors. What drives mothers to such acts? For the first time, an affected mother has written down her story. Ms. "Proxy," as she is referred to in the book, describes a decades-long path of suffering - ruthlessly honest and shocking. Traumatized by severe sexual abuse in childhood, she becomes a perpetrator herself as a mother. She recounts how she compulsively "dosed and calculated" her daughter into life-threatening situations, only to then care for her selflessly.
