My husband suspects his Ex wife of having Munchhausen and abusing their 10 year old son whom she has primary ?

custody of. When trying to get custody about 4 years ago, she was evaluated by the courts and found to show signs of beg. skitsofrantic behavior and severe depression, as well as unstability. They don't just share one son together but share two, one was left behind who is now 22. Their 22 year old used to witness his mom hitting herself and pulling her hair while watching t.v. and listening to the radio at the same time. years later, their 10 year old who is in her care...cries when having to go back to her home from being at our house for his every other weekend visits. He has told stories of her hitting him at times and saying mean things to him. Over a one year period, he has come to us saying he has scoliosis, asthma, rashes, stress rashes, paralasys, blindness, gum disease, numerous severe colds and fevers, anxiety and depression, heart problems, rotten teeth, severe coughs. many times my husband has picked up his son, only to find no fever and no cold like she said. there even was a time when she sent him to us with a prescription bottle of psuedophedrine that had been expired for about 5 mos. I googled and found this really is not good to give kids. My husband took it to the doctors who prescribed it and could not find anyone to take responsibility for it. We have called CPS numberous times and they don't do anything...not even call the school to see how many times the child has been abscent or how many times he's been to the doctor. instead they ask the little boy if his mom is mean to him. Is this the year 2008?


I have been with my husband only a year and find it very odd that this little boy chooses to call me mommy even when his own mom has angrily told him not to. This little boy cries very hard and says he does not feel protected there with his mom or safe...but can't tell me what that means. Munchausen effects kids as they get old, if they are lucky enough to get older. But it sends a very bad message to them...love me better if I'm sick. I'm afraid this little guy is learning that message. 1 and a half mos. ago he was on his weekend with us and pulled out one of his loose teeth and was so proud. he put it under his pillow and the tooth fairy replaced it. I was so proud of him.


He goes back to his mom...then comes back again to us and is freaked out about his gums and teeth making his father pinky promise over and over again that his gums are fine and his teeth are not going to fall out in the night. For about a month, he has been calling my husband every night asking about the % his two teeth are loose and to do the pinky promises which my husband will have to recite about 4-5 times during a phone call. Sometimes these phone calls end and he will call back again only to make him say it again. Sometimes he repeats this pattern for about 4 times. The promise he has to say is: I for sure exactly pinky promise that one tooth is approx. 0.5% loose and the other is approx. 1.5% loose. I also for sure exactly pinky promise that they are not going to fall out for a super duper mega long time. and that your gums are perfectly fine. I also for sure exactly pinky promise that they are not going to get looser when you sleep. I for sure exactly pinky promise I won't forget or break any of my pinky promises. The evening phone calls have increased to mornings now before he goes to school.


So now the concern over his gums and teeth are in the evening and in the morning. This is not normal.

Hire a lawyer, and get this crazy mess looked at.



If you have contacted CPS with no results then it is time to GET SERIOUS. This child is in trouble!!! Get a lawyer...get the child to a psychologist for evaluation and get custody..... even if the Mother is not causing this behavior ....the child is crying out for help. Get it for him now.
he needs to hire a lawyer that specializes in custody for dads and get advice on how you can go about having her checked out
