[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701589, member: 1550"] I worked st several hospitals although I want to be clear that it was in the clerical field. However I learned of a strange disorder cslled Manchusens Syndrome where some people love going to hospital and being sick and will even put substances into their body to puzzle medical people so that they can be hospitalized. Many endure exploratory surgery. the point of doing this seems to be that the person craves the attention one gets when one is sick. I worked in Admittance and we had a list of known people with Manchusens (and sometimes their fake names) so that we could contact a higher up if one of them tried to be admitted, claiming illness. I am not saying your daughter has this affliction. it is just something I know about. Of course, often on top of getting sympathy the person receives money and gifts. Your daughter is in the right place if she is truly sick. I'd demand a doctor's note and explanation before I'd even give a penny and even then...any money would include she come back to Canada because she keeps getting sick abroad and the cost is not sustainable for you. This doesnt mean she lives with you. I wouldn't consider it as she is a very clever manipulator and dangerous to your well being and pocket book. She biked all over Asia. She can figure out how to survive on her own in Canada. It may not be a conventional way, but she isnt living a conventional life now either. At least she'd have heakth insurance in Canada. I am so sorry you woke up to that. I agree not to talk to her friends who may also be conned and feeling sorry for her because she is a master at playing on the sympatjy of other good people. To me something seems wrong about this, but you know her and I dont. Hugs and good vibes and peace to your heart and soul. You need not make any quick decisions. Think on it. She is in good hands...remember thay...even if she is genuinely ill, which is not for certain. Adult kids like this can beggar us...you matter. you are important as is your mental and financial well being. if you become destitute, she is not going to help you. Dont fo it. [/QUOTE]
