Thanks Mods...it's an ugly job, but someone has to do it.

I too feel like a fool. It was painful to follow the story because it was so sad and took such an ugly turn. I'm glad you got to the bottom of it.

I thank you again for working so hard to ensure the integrity of this Dance site.

Keep On Dancing!

Thanks again mods!!

So is this saying she did admit to it being freud?? I did feel the pain for her and i was one of the ones who sent her PMs saying how sorry i was for her loss and stuff!!

It just goes to show how easy it is to fall into someones trap of lies etc

Thanks for being able to get to the bottom of this!!

Shall we just say it was a Freudian slip?

I was shocked to learn that some people actually fake illnesses or tragedies just to get attention. They pretend to be victims of rape, assault, abuse, and serious illness in order to get attention: a symptom of Munchhausen Syndrome. And, according to an article at the BBC News website, the “internet may be encouraging people to pretend they are ill in order to get attention, according to US research.”

In the same news article quoted above, a Dr. Feldman from Alabama explains that persons with this syndrome can be treated with “a chance to get… attention from medical professionals in a psychiatric setting. However, most patients do not want this. They want to have a serious medical ailment and not a psychiatric illness” (news.bbc.co.uk).

I know this topic is all done and over with. But I saw this snippit and thought immediately of the Poodle situation. Maybe she wasnt purposefully trying to hurt people...maybe she is just really sick and hasnt gotten the proper psychiatric help she needs.
