Munchausen by proxy? Couldn't read the link...
You mock the mommie bias, but it's there. I have an ex who tried to kill herself with a pill overdose and less than one month later an emergency screener was ready to hand back unsupervised custody without so much as a letter from a psychologist. I must be too fuckin' responsible and upstanding to warrant raising my kid.
The mommy lie is bullshit. (I know you were being sarcastic...just thought I'd share my own little private hell with it.)
