0100 Surviving Medical Child Abuse and Munchausen by Proxy
Chaos didn’t arrive all at once for Charissa; it accumulated.. custody hearings, restraining orders, police lights outside the window, until crisis felt like the only rhythm of home. We sit with her through the memories most people look away from: sibling fights recorded for proof, eighty-plus CPS reports that opened and closed like revolving doors, and a medical maze where stimulants and SSRIs masked trauma instead of meeting needs. What emerges is a rare, unflinching map of how systems miss children when they treat behavior without context and listen to adults more than the kids living the truth.Charissa explains how overmedication took her childhood offline, sleeping through classes, wired at night, and twice rushed from school with a 160 resting heart rate while suspicions of Munchausen by proxy pulsed beneath the surface. She draws careful lines between control disguised as care, fragmented providers, and a culture that treats children as parental property until eighteen. When an arrest at 18 forced independence, she found a way out: temporary housing, college, and a mission to make sure other young people don’t get swallowed by the same gaps. Today, she’s shaping policy, co-creating a national playbook of best practices, and pushing for adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.Across the conversation, we unpack what “best interests of the child” should mean in practice: youth voice at the table for hearings and family meetings, transparent case communication, limits on polypharmacy, tracking doctor switching, and trauma-informed support that tackles root causes instead of staging a calmer scene. Teresa’s ask is simple and radical: believe kids enough to investigate the inconvenient explanation. If we center respect, agency, and safety, we can transform CPS touchpoints from crisis management into real protection—and stop calling survival symptoms “the problem.”If this story moved you, subscribe to Multispective, shSend a text Support the showAdditionally, you can now also watch the full video version of your favourite episode here on YouTube.

096 17 Years on Meth, I Discovered the Truth About Healing
A single line of meth made the world go quiet for Jason—and for years he chased that silence through dealing, manufacturing, and a life that looked powerful on the outside while hollowing him out within. He tells us how constant moves as a kid shaped a deep need to be chosen, and how that unmet need made the first high feel like belonging. The spiral accelerated: selling to fund the feeling, inventing rules to feel “safe,” and convincing himself that politeness and profit weren’t in conflict with harm. Even a “geographic” reset couldn’t outrun the pattern; drugs found him again, an apartment was stripped clean, and the streets of Vegas became home.Then came the sentence that changed everything: “I’m pregnant.” Jason quit cold turkey and went home to a grandmother who held him without judgment. But the story didn’t end at sobriety. He overcorrected into promotions, degrees, and corporate prestige—until open bars, status, and cocaine replayed the old melody in a sharper key. A 0.38 DUI, crushing grief, and a near-suicidal drive toward a tree became the second bottom that forced him into rehab and an honest inventory of the self he kept dragging from city to city.The breakthrough arrived in therapy: look your younger self in the eyes and tell him what you’ve done with his life. That moment reframed his mission. Jason now believes the opposite of addiction is being seen—by others and by the parts of ourselves we’ve abandoned. He lays out practical recovery principles: radical willingness to change people and places, building a safe bubble when needed, daily gratitude, refusing negativity, and verbalizing what you enjoy so your mind learns to follow it. Today he counsels others through his “Madness Method,” turning hard-won lessons into guidance that’s equal parts streetwise and compassionate.If this story moved you, follow and subscribe for more conversations that trade shame for clarity.
