Corrie Jeff, Silly Story

[Bobbisox1]

I don't know of anyone that is that stupid, is he suffering from munchausen syndrome?

[Tuvok]

Its coercive control - he's doig that to Yasmeen

[hereIam]

Isn't munchausen when you are keeping a child or family member ill, not yourself ? He is just being mean and horrible to poor Yasmeen for whatever reason - he's a control freak! Can't wait for her to find out.

[dannyk13]

It's a storyline that has already been running too long.High time it came to a conclusion.

[quizzkid]

dannyk13 totally agree. When Yasmeen first arrived she was, I thought, quite tough but now so weak.

[dannyk13]

quizzkid, yes, a complete reversal of character.

[quizzkid]

dannyk13 yes seems to happen a lot in these soaps. Moira Emmerdale comes to mind.

[Milo2]

As silly as the positive pregnancy test story line.

[Bobbisox1]

HereIam , I thought that that was munchausen by proxy when it was another family member?

[dannyk13]

Bobbi :-
// Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care//

[elliemay1]

This should clear it up: //
Munchausen syndrome is a mental disorder in which the patient fakes illness to gain attention and sympathy. ... Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MBP) is the old term for a form of abuse where a person either fakes or produces symptoms in someone else, usually their child.//

I stand corrected, I didn't know you could do it to yourself ..
