Sickened
Sickened | Julie Gregory
In this fierce and lyrical memoir, Gregory takes readers inside the hidden world of child abuse called Munchausen by Proxy--with a power rivaling "Girl, Interrupted" and "A Child Called "It."

Mother‘s Day brunch consists of scrambled eggs, coffee, and a memoir about munchausen by proxy. Appropriate? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Starting my choice for the #parentchildmemoir prompt of #booked2020. Not the lightest read but looks to be a fascinating distraction!

This was a really intense and unsettling book. It‘s so unbelievable to read about Julie‘s childhood and know about people like her. This was informative and I think that it is important to expose this horrific form of abuse and make people more aware.

1. I get that a lot.
2. We always have Christmas crackers and wear the paper crowns all through Christmas dinner.
3. Both but mostly veg.
4. Wood? With a side of aqua couch?
5. The worm from the bottom of a tequila bottle.

Y'all. This book is so sad, crazy and heart-breaking. It's also fascinating. It's a train wreck, and I can't look away.

I saw this one on someone else's Litsy and decided to try it.

saguarosally #blamelitsy #byemoney Also, I found one of Jonathan Kellerman's books to be an interesting fictional take on MBP. 7y
Kappadeemom @saguarosally yep, I've read al of his books. This is just fascinating! 7y

A friend, who is a therapist, just loaned me this title. I had posted on Facebook this article https://www.buzzfeed.com/michelledean/dee-dee-wanted-her-daughter-to-be-sick-gyp... I read on longform this past year and she thought I might want to learn more. I had heard of MPB but never read much about it. Fascinating and terrifying.

LeahBergen I read this! 😬 7y
