[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 701755, member: 355"] Yes, I am definitely thinking Munchausen Syndrome (and have so for many years), Lil. Jetsam, the words hurt - more often when they are put into the public view on social media but I know that those close to our family know the truth. The rest of them are more than welcome to walk a mile (even less) in my shoes. Just talked with the "lawyer" person who was assisting her in hospital. He said, [I][U]"[/U][B]I have been working with disadvantaged communities in rural Thailand for the last 3 years and it breaks my heart to see a tourist behave so poorly and validate the stereotype of westerners exploiting this country.
