[@miranda13c]

@@SheryAwan123 It’s LEGAL?! That’s insane! The fact that she was intentionally harming her own, very young, child just makes me even more disgusted and infuriated. Münchausen by proxy is a very real thing and it should be known more among the world. Sadly this leads to the victim eventually dying from being poisoned and/or given medication to the victim that they didn’t even need and causing permanent and tragic side effects because their carer claimed that person had an illness. Sometimes it can lead to murder, as I’m sure we all know and have heard of the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the murder of her mother (and abuser). I was shocked when it was revealed that Gypsy’s mother (DeeDee Blanchard) had been making her daughter HORRIFICALLY sick basically every since she was born to the point of losing her hair and destroying her teeth among many many other intentional health problems that Dee Dee caused because Dee Dee LOVED AND CRAVED the attention, donations, events, etc that Gypsy was given with Dee Dee right there by her side with a big smile on her face loving every single second of it. Dee Dee put her poor daughter through hell. Personally I think Gypsy deserved a MUCH lighter prison sentence and actually should’ve been sent to a psychiatric facility rather than jail. Gypsy deserves to be a free woman at this point. She has suffered her entire damn life by the hands of her mother and now she is just sitting in a jail cell but honestly it’s probably much better to Gypsy rather than having to remain in that hellhole of a home with her mother. It’s no coincidence that Gypsy ended up perfectly healthy as soon as she was no longer being “treated” by her mother. I do feel very bad for Gypsy’s then boyfriend that actually committed the murder though, especially during his confession because it was very clear that he had some mental delays (I’m not sure what exactly he was diagnosed with). He didn’t have an attorney with him and I feel like the detectives knew that he could easily be manipulated and wasn’t all there. Of course, murder was not the answer for this. I do wish Gypsy would’ve just went to the police station and told them everything that her mother did to her and even a simple check up and medical tests could’ve proven that Dee Dee did this to her daughter. I wud that Gypsy would’ve been able to just run away from her home and seek real help so she wouldn’t be stuck in prison today. I’m not sure how much longer her prison sentence is, but somehow I hope she gets released really soon and finally gets to experience what true *freedom* is like and get to actually explore the world as the real, healthy person she is, someone who can WALK (and not confined to a wheelchair that she never truly needed t begin with) for once in her life.

[@annawalcott7487]

It very sad that she think this was the only answer. They should have been communication on both sides. The fact that he did 7 tours and never thought about coming home is a problem. The fact that she thought it's better off having him dead. Instead of worrying whether on not he gonna die within these 7 tours left with so much anxiety. They both need help to fix there marriage. They both was in so much denial. People love the idea of marriage but don't want to put in the work. This is for all relationships. Whether your married, engaged, dating, or single.

But in her mind, it's not an internal problem-- the problem is that he's off fighting somewhere risking his life, and her going to see a therapist is not going to solve that. My mother went through something similar, but at least she sought help.

As a woman you worry about a husband not coming back from war but when he keeps going back to war it like you question why doesn't he want to be home and around kids and his family. I not saying she wishes him dead but the fact is if he is coming home from these tour like I said on the other post. He suffering from PTSD he extremely dismissive toward her and kids. It like he dead, he's not alive if he not doing another tour. If you take the narrative into today. Police, fighter fires, military, EMT, and some doctors men and women put there life on the line. There's a family ,brotherhood that only they understand. For wives and spouses of the same sex or opposite doesn't matter will never truly understand there disordered. We can only love and show support but it comes with a price. Sometimes the is completely lost. You can she tried and giving everything and it still wasn't enough. He needs another tour.

@@annawalcott7487 I don't know if you are speaking from personal experience, but it seems like you might be projecting.

She said she knew what she was getting into-- Well, clearly she didn't, or else she wouldn't have resorted to such means. You said it takes two people to ruin a relationship, but that's not true. It only takes one person and one very bad decision. She could have easily given him an ultimatum-- No more tours or we're done. No more tours, or I'm going/not going to do x, y, z. If she's expressed herself to him and he didn't listen, or didn't take her seriously, that's on him, but from what I'm seeing in this clip (I haven't seen the episode), I have doubts it.

If your going to go on 7 tours and plan on even more then why marry? Why give your loved ones nightmares... Why love and leave them alone.. I just don't understand...

The entire process is just sad...

[@elijrivera522]

Your argument is hella dumb. You don’t poison someone who’s committed to be in the military and serve for the country no matter what if you want them home. You say “Why love and leave them alone, why marry?” Your acting like they are obligated to marry someone and they don’t have an option. She chose to accept and marry him and it’s not his fault that she did. Your basically trying to find an excuse for domestic violence. Even though this is fake, you’re going to need this in the real world.

I think that Mrs Jackson, with decent legal advice, could go for an insanity defence. It is easy to see what level of stress she's under to the point where an irrational act or series of acts consistent with psychosis becomes almost inevitable. It won't save her marriage. Frankly, though, her husband has his own load to bear. He failed to see just how much his long absences on combat tours was affecting his wife's mental health.
