I've covered this story in depth in previous episodes, but when my sister was in her 20s, she pretended, very convincingly, to be pregnant with twin girls. and then called my parents and me while we were all out of town, a theme that would repeat itself over the years, to tell us that she'd lost the babies six months in.

I always felt in the back of my mind, have I made a dreadful mistake? Is this my daughter who's just having all these terrible things happen to her? Am I being unsympathetic? And then I look at the probability of two or three of them, let alone 15, and then that formed a pattern. And I remember...

at the wedding and I definitely remember I had some inkling of fear that if she had children they might be at risk and I suppressed it a number of times but I felt because I'd seen the entire history you know right from when she was a child and it made me very nervous and of how she would care

For parents of children that have Munchausen's disease, you keep on replaying it and replaying it, and it's more comfortable to be in a state of denial. It's absolutely horrifying when you confront it and you realize that it's not, and it is the real thing.
