And I think that this diagnosis when applied to someone who we suspect is a victim is not quite right. I understand why it's used because it's naming the behavior.

The other thing that we know about a lot of perpetrators is that they began these, I mean, thinking back on my sister, thinking about a lot of the people where we've talked to their family members, a lot of times these behaviors do start as teenagers. And in a situation that's not an abuse situation, a parent is very concerned by those behaviors and doesn't co-sign that behavior, you know?

And in this case, the dynamics appear from what we know to be quite a lot more complicated. And I think in a case where you're suspecting that that parent is abusive, that is very different because if a child is participating in it, it's because they've been co-opted by the parent, not because they're necessarily intentionally

Doing it in the way that we would think of someone doing this just of their own accord. Can you kind of help us tease that out a little bit?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was very struck by some of these diagnoses because the family is saying that the diagnosis this child has, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, and CRPS, all very real diagnoses that can be very complex and difficult to get to the frequent flyers in these cases, it has to be said. And we have heard actually from so many people.

We're going to follow up on this and hear some of these stories coming up, but I've heard from so many listeners that suffer from a couple of those conditions, but in particular, Ehlers-Danlos and Potts, who have had some real difficulties with doctors and also are very aware, and seemingly there are people in those communities that are very aware of
