A common question I get is, how did you not know? Or if you were married, how did you not know the medicine or the doctors? Especially because this story with Morgan is so extreme. I agree. If I was on the outside, I listened to plenty of true crime and factitious disorder stuff that I'm like, obviously you would know.

I really think it comes from a deep desire to feel like it couldn't happen to us. And more than that, it comes from this desire of like protecting ourselves, hearing other people's pain. And I can sympathize with that completely.

Whenever I cringe telling this story, I've had to pause and ask myself what part of me is cringing. And the part of me that's cringing is always coming from a shameful, guilty place.

Shame has never been a motivator of change for me.

It's so easy to hear my story and be like, this terrible thing happened to this great person. And to be honest, I have had to reckon with my own inner demons about this. Like what parts of me were attracted to a person that needed to be taken care of? I can reflect back on a lot of my early childhood where to be caregiving and to be codependent in that way were very much rewarded.

So it's not just like, wow, this terrible thing happened to me. Truly, it's like, I can see what I said yes to in this complicity. I can see where I turned an eye away from what I knew in my body was the truth because I didn't want to lose something I loved. Or I'm embarrassed I didn't leave sooner because I was afraid of what it would look like. And it's true.

When I hear other people's horrific stories of things that have happened to them, I now have a lens of what a human experience to love so deeply that we're willing to suspend disbelief that high. It's like, I truly believe that deception really comes from a deep desire to be loved. And I can sympathize with the desire to be loved.
