Things took a turn when she started to experience bizarre health episodes, once Megan claimed she was losing her hair but was actually shaving it. Another time she fabricated a twin pregnancy and even had a baby shower. The situation escalated when Megan eventually did have two children and the situation tore the family apart to estrangement. Kate Langbroek and Andrea explore the fascinating and heart wrenching topic of Munchausen by Proxy, a complex psychological condition. Made familiar with recent documentaries like ‘Take Care of Maya’ the Kowalski’s trial and Andrea’s own podcast ‘Nobody Should Believe Me’. Andrea shares her own very personal experiences and answers the questions that linger: what truly happened? and how do you possibly move on when you think a child is in danger?THE END BITS:Andrea Dunlop's latest novel Women Are The Fiercest Creatures is available here.  Kate Langbroek's book Ciao Bella is available here.Feedback?
