You are so right! When I think about it now, it seems almost ‘eerie’! HKS was ALWAYS the one trying to ‘protect’ Anna, and he was always the one to ANNOUNCE if anything was going on with her, and HOW everything should be interpreted!! Just think how long it took for her ‘pregnancy’ to be announced! HKS went back and forth about it and finally ANNA herself announced it on her website (via webcam without HKS present), then HKS ‘announced it officially’!! I still think that HKS was hoping for another ‘miscarriage’ since it’s been reported that he doesn’t even like children, and even a new born child would be a threat or a ‘rival’ to him.
So RTE, with that thought in mind, I think that YOU may have discovered YET another type of psychopath! Yes, Munchausen by Proxy could most definitely apply, considering the relationships with HKS, Anna, and Daniel. BUT, I think “Munchausen-In-Vitro by Proxy” is also relevent in HKS’s case! So, in my very humble opinion, you have discovered yet another psychological ‘disorder’. It is now deemed “Munchausen-In-Vitro by Proxy” or MIVP bc that applies to HKS as well! Good job, Rte!
I’m sending a copy of this post to the AMA, so they may be contacting you for interviews! Although in my opinion, you should not wait for them to contact you for your very obvious accomplishments. Hopefully, they will be ‘reeling’ from reading about all of the absolutely, un-freaking-believable actions of one Dr. K. EROSHEVICH of Studio City, California.
WELL... We all can DREAM! Can’t we??!!
Well, if we consider Anna Nicole the “child” in the situation and HKS the “caregiver,” it becomes obvious, to me.
ANS was already given to her own forms of factitious disorder, exaggerating some injuries or illnesses, as an excuse for the drugs, and HKS’s own bizarre needs just played right into that.
Look at this one list of MBP clues:
