		Julie Gregory is just a child when her mother Sandy sits on the end of her bed with a gun in her mouth, the cold metal of the barrel resting on her tongue.
		Julie watched, horrified, as the pattern of her own childhood abuse was re-enacted in front of her on Tina, Sandy’s adopted daughter.
		Julie had the same feeling of betrayal when, just three weeks after they had been removed from Sandy’s care, Tina and her brother were returned to her.

		Julie Gregory was 24 when she learned that this type of abuse not only had a name, Munchausen by proxy, but a face, that of her mother.
		Weakened by pills her mother gave her, Julie was prodded to play up her "illness" for doctors while her mother took the role of the beleaguered caretaker.
		When Julie was 13 and hospitalized for tests, she panicked as a nurse prepared her for a heart catheterization.

	Julie Gregory
		At first it was little things -- headaches, sore throats and the medications they came with -- but eventually Julie's mother was in hot pursuit of a mysterious heart condition and the open heart surgery she was convinced would give it a name.
		Racing against the clock for the cure, Julie was continually x-rayed, medicated and eventually operated on, all in the vain pursuit of an illness that was created in her mother's mind -- and literally left her own child sickened.
		Julie Gregory reminds us that those who find the courage to slay the dragons of their past and stop the cycle of abuse are the true heroes of the world."

		Munchausen by proxy is a form of abuse where a parent/guardian causes the victim to have symptoms of illness (sometimes brought on by other physical abuses) in order to draw attention to himself or herself.
		Sickened is well-written, and moves quickly, dragging you through the many abuses Gregory suffered at top speed, as though she wanted to tell them as quickly as possible to avoid dwelling on them.
		Gregory makes it clear that her journey to wellness continues.

	Story - Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood
		But the world of Julie Gregory, author of the painfully funny yet steamrollingly tragic memoir, "Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood," was anything but that of the Brady Bunch hair-flip that caricatured '70s-era ambitions.
		A child of failed ambitions herself, Sandy Gregory was literally sold into the circus at the age of 17 (marrying a man 35 years her senior), pinned to a spinning wheel, smiling while 19-inch knives swooshed past her performance-white teeth and nearly exposed breasts.
		Later in life, Julie Gregory comes to terms with the fact that she was never sick at all, except by virtue of proxy, and has to rebuild a world in which she can live and trust again, and stand alone.

		Julie owned 50 percent, and a Member's Agreement signed by all of the members stated that Paul and Gregory "collectively" owned 50 percent and had 50 percent of the voting rights.
		Gregory argued that the sale was an improper transfer, because there was an inherent conflict of interest in that Julie and Paul were on both sides of the transaction.
		Julie, Paul, and Newco appealed the decision to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

		Julie Gregory's mother insisted, to all who would listen, that her child was sick, that there was something wrong with her heart, her gastrointestinal tract, and that Julie needed open heart surgery.
		The result, as Gregory's memoir traces, was to inflict this bizarre torture upon her daughter — all the more perverse because it is in the name of healing.
		That Gregory survived her abuse and can continue to see her mother for all her beauty as well as her psychosis is remarkable.

		Ever since Julie Gregory can imagine she has been examined, x-rayed and operated on for no other reason than that her mother was an obsessive child abuser with a condition scarcely known as Munchausen by proxy.
		Julies childhood has been that of unbelievable, the book allows you to follow through the steps of her life, from the day she was first subjected to this atrocious abuse to the very courageous moments she turned her life around.
		Julie Gregory takes you through the journey of her childhood marked by extreme neglect and abuse, yet the authors childhood spirit balances out the dark side of her upbringing.

		Although Julie Gregory has a compelling story to tell, I felt her book was overly detailed with extensive 'filler' material and was brimming with unnecessary details; ultimately making this book boring and a long read.
		The way that Gregory describes the test done on her is bone-chilling (especially the scene where she is in the hospital and the nurse comes in to prep her for surgery).
		Julie suffered so unneccessarily most of her life, so I was really surprised that she tried to be as fair as she could to both parents, including the few small, good things that they did or said.

		Julie, Paul and 2005 New Jersey LLC appeal, asking that we reverse the decision of the trial court and dismiss Gregory's complaint.
		Gregory argues that because §183.1101(1) excludes members from voting when they have an adverse interest and because §183.0404(3) also refers to members who are precluded from voting, "it would appear to follow that members who are precluded from voting are members with a conflict of interest."
		Gregory, the only member without a conflict of interest, was unaware of the transfer before it occurred and did not vote on the transfer.

		Julie Gregory - Sickened: A Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood
		As a child, Julie was told ad nauseum how sickly she was, and endured round after round of doctor’s visits to “get to the bottom of it”.
		Rather, it seeks to punish those who did the author wrong, from her mother on down to the doctors and social workers who she feels did not do enough for her, while making Julie Gregory out to be the sole voice of reason in a world gone insane.

		That's the image that I get from Julie Gregory's memoir of the long nightmare otherwise known as her childhood: her mother methodically swallowing Julie until it is almost too late.
		Julie spends her childhood and adolescence suffering from an extensive series of ailments--all of which are created in her either physically or psychologically by her mother.
		The most heartbreaking episodes are those scarce few instances when the young Julie is momentarily shocked into speaking, but is immediately steamrolled back into submission by the weight of the unending guilt and lies that her mother has force-fed her day after day, year after year.

		Then, undernourished and doped up on drugs for problems that don't exist, Gregory is dragged from hospital to hospital in search of "answers." Interspersed throughout Gregory's narrative are real medical records that show the efforts of dozens of doctors, procedures and surgeries to "heal" her, efforts which instead become the source of new illnesses.
		Julie's mother used a combination of inducing symptoms on Julie by giving her an array of pills, starving her, overworking her, and lying to doctors about false symptoms.
		Julie writes about the darkness of her childhood, a darkness caused by her own mother, a darkness in which her mother made her ill despite the fact that she was fine.
