It is called Munchausen by proxy. There are several well documented cases about this. She thrives on the attention these actions give her. She needs some serious help.

i would say a mental health eval would be the first step. i know you can’t make someone get help if they don’t want too. she doesn’t sound mentally stable to be raising a child.

I’m very concerned for your sister’s child and being raised by such a mentally unstable individual with obvious issues. Your sister needs help and it’s imperative that your parents are made aware of your concerns. I would recommend an intervention.

She’s a scammer, people do it all the time of fb, all the time, your 2000 miles away, don’t fight with her, leave her to your parents until they ask for you opinion, which I know will be hard but sooner or later your parents will get lured of it but will need to talk, be their for them and let your sister do her thing and just be thankful their there for the baby

I’d say some form of mental illness, not sure what though. Hard to say. Mental illness is so complex. Deff manipulation. Attention seeking behavior for her own benefit, financially.

Yeah…it’s called clinically insane or a scam artist and should probably be seeing a therapist!

If you wanted, you could probably get custody of her child with the proof that you have if she refuses to get help!

I’d be more scared for the child and call protective services on her. Also if she’s getting money from men for “child support” they can press charges against her. I’d have zero contact with her and I wouldn’t post any pics of my kids where she can get a hold of them.

Your sister is a psychotic bitch. Manipulating men, using your families pain for her personal gain. She is not mentally stable and seems unfit to raise a child, is the child safe with her?? What she is doing is wrong on every level, I’m so sorry for your whole family.

She’s psychotic and needs lots of help. She prob should be thrown in a psych ward and your parents should take custody/care of her child until she’s medicated and proves she’s sane enough to raise her own kid. That’s some toxic shit right there. I’d also cut her off :person_shrugging: idc if you’re family or not if you’re bad for me or my family you’re gone from our life.

She’s a pathological liar with some other mental issues.

Pathological liars lie to gain sympathy and attention. Most often, they lie about trauma, death, illness, etc.

It usually runs in line with personality disorders.

She is committing extortion/fruad. That is a crime! These charges will be numerous felony counts. It is not a matter of IF but WHEN this will happen. Sooner or later her attempts to extort money will bring legal or even lethal repercussions. If I were you I would be worried about being implicated as an accessory. The pictures are yours. You know about her criminal activities. Although you don’t aprove of her actions you allow her to continue committing serious crimes using your property. This has to stop. Get her to a mental health professional or have her arrested. It is a tough call especially when dealing with a family member but her actions must be addressed. Do it now! If she lives at home this could cause legal problems/trouble for your parents as well. Sit down with the family for a conversation as well as a plan of action to stop her ILLEGAL activities. Good luck!

Narcissist, pathological liar, psycho , I feel bad for her child. You and your family should let child services know about her behaviour because can endanger this child. She is not mentally stable and you and your family should let everyone know about what she does so she at least start feeling a little of embarrassment.

I would contact a therapist, but one that is like a whole team that do outpatient services! Something mentally is going on as it’s not normal behavior to an average person but to her it is normal (she may even be making herself believe most things as well) but yes there is a name for it and just reach out to therapist that have outpatient services that are more intense (intensive outpatient therapy) and let them know everything and it may even be possible that they commit her if they feel she really believes these things in her mind) at least til they can help her through it! But seriously get her help! There is a condition mentally that can cause these actions kind of like skitz (not sure on spelling lol)

It sounds like the mental illness called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy this is a mental illness that predominantly effects women. A woman with this mental illness will fake pregnancies, miscarriages, illness or the like for attention. They can also do so on their child as well and cause or fake issues with their children for attention. It’s a serious disorder that requires mental health treatment. One of the more famous cases is the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard whose mother faked illness after illness with her and made her go through several surgeries and take many medications until she was ultimately murdered by her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend. Keep a close eye on your sister’s baby and also try to get her some help even if you need her to be committed forcibly.

Sounds like she needs her ass beat! That’s just wrong. I’d be pissed too. Sorry you’re dealing with this, but she needs to be cut off from the family completely! Your parents are enabling her behaviors by not making her work and support HER child. That child is no one’s responsibility but hers!

Get your family to sue her for for emotional damages by her using their babies loss to scam money oit of people, or let the police know shes a scammer, its illegal and she can be arrested…then the ball will begin to roll…think about her baby not her, that baby deserves a better life then what she can/will give…

Munchhausen Syndrome with a bit of con artist thrown in for good measure. Definitely a mental disorder, likely an unhealthy combination of a few. Be cautious as munchhausen can easily turn to munchhausen by proxy and that baby would need definite protection.

Narcissists will do whatever they can as long as they get away with it. No consequences. No change. Best to let your parents deal with it and you go on with your life. Like completely leave the family drama and don’t engage at all. Tell your family you don’t want to hear about it at all. Suggest they do the same. 2000 miles is a good enough distance to never think about her at all.

Extortion and blackmail IS FEDERALLY ILLEGAL. I believe its also a felony. If you can find proof and witnesses she could be locked up for good and the kid would be placed with someone thats more equipped to raise a child than her.

Extortion. Fraud. I would report her to the authorities, press charges, then block her ass on EVERYTHING. Drop her. It’s only going to get worse. Much, much worse.

She’s got issues holy shit

Warn her that what she is doing could be thought of as identity theft and she could end up in jail for it.

It sounds like mental illness for sure. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Sending hugs and prayers. :yellow_heart:

Not normal at all. I would defiantly be getting a restraining order to protect your kids and cut her off. I would also call CPS and ask for a wellness check to be done on her kids.

She needs help to figure out what is motivating her to do these things…a really good therepist

I feel like that’s digital kidnapping. Or something along those lines if she’s using pictures of someone else’s baby as her own. There was an episode on Dr Phil of someone doing the same thing

She needs mental health help, for sure. It sounds like she may have Borderline Personality Disorder or something similar.

My sister actually did very very similar to me back in 1992. She has since done way worse. She needs help as does yoyr sister. This is NOT normal. This is a severe mental illness! My sister has hurt MANY innocent people in her path

She’s obviously having mental health issues. Tell someone about that, like the police maybe? And something should definitely be done about her child situation. She should definitely not be raising a child when she’s having issues like that!

She’s definitely dealing with something, yikes! Postpartum and a healthy dose of narcissistic insanity is my guess. I’m so sorry this is happening

Why would u want 2 get her in trouble when she obviously needs some serious help?..

It is called Münchausen syndromeIt is when a person does something to gain sympathy from others. Have you ever seen the movie the act it is on Hulu this woman had a syndrome she had her child believing she could not walk until she was 16 or 17 years of age she went as far as even extracting all the girls teeth She had a doctors fooled it was crazy. I would be really concerned being that she has a child of her own because these people will go as far as poisoning their own children to make them sick so people can feel sorry for them. Definitely try to watch the movie called the act it is on Hulu if you do not have Hulu you can get a free trial but it will definitely shed some light On what a person will do with this condition maybe you can show your parents the movie and make them watch it and they can understand how dangerous this can beI would really be concerned for the well-being of her child I hope this helps and yes she can get in legal trouble if she is making a financial gain from anything she has done

I would think something like Munchausen’s Syndrome
