CW: discussions of sexual assault, child abuse, fantasies of child exploitation, and murder
I'm back with a discussion of the story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. In this episode I explore the differences between the fictional show and the real story, as well as discuss the disorder at the heart of this tragic tale: Munchausen's by Proxy or as the DSM calls it, Facticious Disorder Imposed on Another.
