Long overdue update on Stella and Jessica.

Prayers for you and your family Yvsa. And for you Steve. Wounds from family are the hardest to heal, but the most important ones to resolve. All we can do is love them, pray for them and be there when they need us. Sounds like you both have done that. God bless you.

Yvsa,

I offer my prayers and best wishes to you and your family.

The description of your daughter's situation brought to mind some information I picked up through study and work in the field of mental health. There are a series of disorders, broadly termed as factittious disorders (of which Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy are examples) in which individuals feign or create symptoms of illnesses in themselves or others to gain attention, sympathy or treatment. There are a number of sites on the internet which provide information on this topic.

I certainly do not mean to suggest that this applies to your situation, and I do not in any way intend to offend or overstep my bounds, so please accept my apologies if this post comes across in that way. If the information is helpful in any way, I am grateful. If it is not, please disregard.

Take care.

Thanks Gang for the Smoke and Prayers for my family.

Stella tells me that Jessica's Dr. has given up on her and that she is trying to get Jessica into the Mayo Clinic but I very much doubt what she is telling me.:(

Jessica called me yesterday after I had posted the initial update and told me that her big brother had given her my number but she has always had my number and is always welcome to call.
Suffice it to say that Jessica sounded good and with her mentality she is always doing "good" unless she is very sick and in the hospital.
Jessica knows that she has a really bad disease but doesn't realize just how severe the end results could be from what I understand.
I do know that there's a medicine the Dr. wanted Jessica on that would help but Stella evidently has refused to consider it.:(
It is difficult to actually *Know* things when your family lives close to you and damned near nigh impossible when they are so far away.:(

Stella's letter said she had met somebody and that he had moved from Illinois to move in with her and that she is very happy now.
I'm certain that is the guy she met in a chatroom and that she exchanged a lot of personal information with that very first time.:( :mad: After talking with some of Stella's family I have discovered a lot of things that aren't and weren't true.:(
As well as some that were and are that I wish I hadn't.:mad: :barf:
The Munchausen Syndrome has been brought up in conversation among other things.

There is a lot more that I absolutely *Do Know for certain* but that I probably best not talk about due to on going legal issues.
I just had to get all of this off my chest and I knew that everyone here needed, as well as having a right to, an explanation because of your concerns.
 
Brother, this all very much sucks. I have no advice, but please know that you have all the smoke and good thoughts that I have.
 
One of the most beautiful phrases I've ever encountered was in French. My French is horribly rusty, so I'll no doubt booger it up, but here goes; "Les temps passe, l'amor reste". . . . . . .Time passes, Love remains.

No one can hurt us or dissapoint us more than those we care about the most, but all can be mended and forgiven as long as love remains. Prayers from Texas.

Some people just aren't wired the way they ought to be. Knowing that, it is our duty to love them and adjust to whatever comes.
Take care, best to Both Stella and Jessie and the man who cares enough to tie himself up in knots over his family.
 
Steve and Nasty said it best. Smoke and prayers headed your way.

All the best my friend.

got here late, but much smoke!

YVSA, I am of the opinion that both your daughter and your granddaughter still need our prayers. Your daughter, already on overload because of her daughter's illness, may have subconsciously decided no one cared what happened to her, leading her to exagerate or misstate her own problems. I will continue to pray for peace and healing for both.
 
We will continue to remember Jessica and Stella and you and Barb. Like Nasty said, doesn't change anything. The mind has a will of it's own sometimes.. Take care.

That's right down the road from me and pretty famous for fixing the unfixable. If she goes there and you need some service or support at this end, please advise.
 
What a crappy situation for all.
I'm sorry.


Prayers and positive thoughts for your family from the west coast.
