【True Mother Killing Case】
The mother wants her daughter to be sick, and the daughter wants her mother to die
This weird mother-daughter relationship begins here-
Gypsy (daughter) was born in 1991 in a small town called Slidell in northern New Orleans. Dee (mother) was 24 years old when she was pregnant. Her boyfriend Rod was 17 years old and was still in high school. They were pregnant. The news of getting married. Not long before Gypsy was born, Rod filed for divorce. Although Dee wanted to stay, the marriage ended.
(Gypsy and mother Dee)
When Gypsy was three months old, her mother was convinced that her daughter had sleep apnea syndrome, a disease that caused sleep apnea. After several tests, the doctor found no problems. Dee told Rodriguez that it was caused by a defect in his daughter's chromosomes.
From then on, every once in a while, Dee would think of a new disease for her daughter, take her to see a new doctor, and take new medicine. For this reason, even as a nurse's assistant, she applied all the medical terms she learned to her daughter, and her daughter suffered more and more illnesses.
(Rhodes and Gypsy)
Dee is in control, she knows a lot of medical terms, and she can answer questions when people ask. For the local media, the story of a single mother who never abandons the care of her sick daughter is a big news that cannot be let go. Charity organizations quickly got involved and gave a lot of support to the mother and daughter. At the same time, his father Rod also paid Dee about $1,000 a month for living expenses.
Time flies, the mother and daughter are actively facing the dark waves hidden behind the moving life. On June 14, 2015, Dee updated a status on his Facebook page: That bitch is dead!
[The pitiful place of the hateful]
"My mother is my best friend, she just wants to take care of me."
Proxy Monchosen’s disease is a type of Monchosen’s syndrome . It is a mental illness. It refers to a caregiver fabricating or inducing the physical and mental illness of the person being cared for. It is usually the most complicated and deadly form of abuse by the mother to the child.
Patients with this type of disease hope to get the care and attention of people around them, and they will not hesitate to use the behavior of hurting others to gain sympathy and attract others' attention-gypsy ears are inflamed due to the perennial catheterization of the gypsy; The tube ingests Xiaoansu instead of meat; the salivary glands are injected with botulinum toxin; the baldness is perennially coaxed by the mother...
Many netizens believe that his mother Dee suffers from surrogate Monchosen’s disease, but behind the evil behavior , there is always its cause and development.
If Dee knows how to take good care of herself and protect herself from pregnancy so early; if her husband does not divorce her; if those who doubt Dee endure the attack from public opinion and defeat her image of being weak, she may not die. , Gypsy also had a wonderful childhood.
Here is a small digression, Agatha (grandmother) has a reasoning book called "Death Date", the heroine in the book, the old lady Boynton is the tyrant of the family. She is like a spider entrenched in a web, trapping her children tightly around her, preventing them from contacting the outside world, and taking pleasure in it. The situation of the children is very similar to the Gypsy, and they are all waiting for hope with their own efforts.
Gypsy is currently being held in Green Prison, with long hair and a clean and healthy face. Since getting rid of her mother, she hasn't taken any medications, and she is in very good health. Generally, inmates go to prison, because the food is unpalatable, they will get thinner and thinner, but after 12 months in prison, she weighed 15 kilograms instead.
"I used to live with my mother like a prison. I can't walk. I can't eat. I can't have friends. I can't go out. In prison, I feel more free than living with my mother. Because now, I can...live like a normal woman."
