@Andrea Gunning : 我和我的妹妹Megan从小关系亲密,但她高中时期开始出现各种健康问题,例如背痛、膝盖痛和脱发。起初,我认为她只是运气不好,但随着时间的推移,我开始怀疑她的病情。她总是去看医生,进行各种检查,这让我感到担忧。当她宣布要学习医学时,我感到很惊讶,因为她并不是一个喜欢学习的人。后来,她成为一名护士,并在工作中表现出色。然而,我搬到纽约后,对她的生活了解不多,直到她告诉我她怀孕了,并且后来早产失去了双胞胎婴儿。我当时相信她,甚至感受到了胎动。但后来,我父亲告诉我,Megan关于怀孕和流产的故事前后矛盾。母亲也发现Megan的住院记录与她所说的情况不符。妹妹的前男友也证实了她的说法不实。最终,Megan承认她撒谎了,并没有怀孕。我难以接受妹妹的谎言,感到震惊和害怕。妹妹对发生的事情表现得好像什么都没发生一样。她结婚后,再次怀孕,生下了一个儿子。但儿子的健康状况恶化,让我感到事情不对劲。我搬回老家后,发现妹妹总是谈论儿子的健康问题,并且对医生的建议前后矛盾。父母怀疑她患有代理型孟乔森综合征。我们决定介入,保护侄子。医院报警,将侄子紧急带走,这让我们很震惊。尽管我们讨厌这个结果,但我们是为了侄子的安全。侄子的安置处理得很糟糕,没有进行警方调查。法庭听证会上,妹妹及其支持者否认了指控,法院判决对妹妹有利,孩子被送回她身边。妹妹与我们断绝了联系,我专注于自己的心理健康和写作。妹妹的丈夫联系了我的父亲,但最终站在了妹妹那边。我出版了我的第三部小说,内容与妹妹的故事有关,并因此收到妹妹律师的律师函。妹妹的律师函中提到法院将孩子的监护权归还给了妹妹,并且没有对妹妹提起任何指控。检察官认为无法证明妹妹有罪。妹妹向媒体否认了指控。我创办了一个播客,讲述关于孟乔森综合征的故事,并成立了一个非营利组织来帮助其他家庭。 @Andrea Dunlop : (This section would contain Andrea Dunlop's perspective and experiences, similar in length and detail to Andrea Gunning's statement above.) @Megan Dunlop : (This section would contain Megan Dunlop's perspective and experiences, if she chose to share them.
