I wonder what kind of childhood Michelle Carter had.
I read upthread about anorexia, cutting, and the need for attention. Body dysmorphia and/or BPD blossoming? Sociopathy? Hmmmm....
I read about Michelle Carter and that is what jumped out, eating disorder and other body image issues. She likely has issues of self hatred.
I wonder what her relationship with her parents and siblings were like.
Looking at Carter, she shows characteristics of borderline and histrionic personality disorder.
Carter shows characteristic of a predator as she prayed on Conrad Roy.
On that ground, she is similar to Lori Drew, Jodi Arias, Casey Anthony, Elisa Baker, Erin Caffey, Kayla Narey, Diane Downs, Bernie Madoff, and Elliot Rodger.
Like Carter, many of them had issues of self hatred. They also had body image issues.
I may be mistaken but doesn't she have to have a mental evaluation as part of the sentencing report. I just don't know how through or deep they do one.
Tells me something about her mom's mentality.
The texts I've read and her acquaintances' testimony shed a lot of light on who she is i think. Those who get a munchausenish vibe from her make so much sense. I suspect her eating disorder wasn't real. It seems she chose methods that would get a lot of attention from her peers. The one friend's testimony and the texts between them evidence real manipulation on the part of MC of this new friend. Seems like she really got off on sending multiple texts about food and her anorexia and getting this poor girl to feel responsible to constantly monitor MC and encourage her to eat more.
Disgusting. Just thousands of texts where MC would text what she ate and ask advice and the friend would try to convince MC to eat more food. It was a way to surround herself with constant drama and attention and pity. I think it excites her.
It seems she started with cutting for attention and drama and moved to an eating disorder. Then she culminated with being the grieving girlfriend of a victim of suicide.
I have no doubt that she is at massive risk of harming any child around her for attention and sympathy. She is super creepy and scary and dangerous, IMO.
You are so sweet!!!! Thank you so much!!!
If she was issued an ankle bracelet Judge Moniz would have included that I would think in his verdict with the other restrictions like no social media, no leaving the state etc. She really is free as a bird until August 3.
He should have included her mother to stay off social media pertaining to her daughter while he was at it because I do not want to hear that she is at the beach or going to amusement parks etc. She needs to be in lock-up until sentencing.
That is my little opinion only.
I can bet she is on her computer at home looking at what is all about her. Not Conrad because she could care less about him, it is all about her.

Very good insight!
Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy are a form of extreme narcissism and can occur in narcissistic, borderline, and histrionic personality disorder.
Here is a blog that suggests that Michelle Carter does have Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy.

I think Michelle Carter is borderline narcissist.
I have seen Michelle Carter compared with Lori Drew and Jodi Arias, especially with Drew since Megan Meier was harassed to suicide. Drew and Arias are driven by revenge like Vester Flanagan, Elliot Rodger, Adam Lanza, and Osama bin Laden. Drew and Arias do not show any Munchausen despite their extreme narcissism.

True.......those pesky personality disorders never sleep alone. Where there is one, there's always another. :gaah:
Yeah, typically those are the kinds of diagnoses discussed in all the books and cases of Munchausen's by proxy that I've read. Borderline especially.
Im both repelled and fascinated by such creatures.
Does anyone know the overall family dynamics / history?
There seems to be studies popping up here and there that suggest these types of mental illnesses must be passed from the mother's side of the family, although I have never read anything that conclusively proves that.
It would be interesting to know if there was known mental illness on the mother's (or father's) genetic tree.

I agree and would like to know the history of MC's childhood and family dynamics. I wonder what kept her mother out of the courtroom during the trial? What about siblings and where were they? Plus neither one showed any emotion during the judges statement during the verdict.
I want the camera angle video from the other side of the courtroom...I can see him filming..wonder where that is
Her mother and sister weren't. Mother was for the decision. Sister never.I wonder about Michelle Carter's childhood and family dynamics as well.
People Similar to Michelle Carter
Jodi Arias-Moved around a lot. Relationship got worse as she got older.
Casey Anthony-Highly dysfunctional if one watches them on television.
Lori Drew-Unknown. Father served in the Air Force and studied banking during her childhood.
Arias and Anthony allege being targets of childhood abuse. Drew has never made any allegations of being target of childhood abuse.
In their trials, their parents were at the trial.
Borderline Personality Disorder invariably occurs with other personality disorders and mental illness.
Looking at Michelle Carter and thinking about it more, she is Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy.
It shows that narcissism comes in all forms.
Interesting that borderline is often linked with Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy. I would also look at narcissistic and histrionic as well. I think they are also just as linked as well.
Michelle Carter, Jodi Arias, Lori Drew, Casey Anthony, and Betty Broderick show characteristics of borderline. Carter shows characteristics of Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy, while the others did not show anything to suggest that. Arias, Drew, and Broderick are driven by rejection and feeling abandoned. Anthony is driven by envy. The motive in their case is revenge, while Carter wanted attention and be seen as some grieving girlfriend.[/b
