My brother's wife at one point was quite the woman..amazingly caring, never badmouth anyone, greatest mother on this side of the hemisphere and quite the companion for my brother. Unfortunately, after nursing school she began to battle (what appears to be bouts) between hypochondriac and Munchausen and depression?
They've traversed a rough patch or two and appeared to being flying high.
Very recently he discovered she has a podcast for nearly 4 months; grossly, she's bashing/degrading him as being non-supportive of her many alignments (which fortunately have come back as false via physician e.g. cancer, arthritis in her spine wrist etc, and auditory processing).
Thanksgiving weekend we met up to enjoy beverages with his [bestfriend] neighbor and wife a much older couple (early 60s) and she cautiously hands my brother her phone and ask if everything is okay and points to a FB post from his wife.
I couldn't be more flabbergasted.
Fast forward to Christmas Eve and we're visiting family abroad. Everyone's exchanging pleasantries and inquiries of my brother; my step-brother says hows he doing? Didnt he have a divorce?
Perplexed, we're like no everything's well. My Stepbrother goes on to Express why he believed they were divorced or going through a divorce and it stems from her FB postings. Rants apparently that have been going on for quite some time.
He doesnt possess FB nor social media thus had no clue.
Confronted about them she state she's making general commentary and insightful information to the public about various disorders. She states she merely presenting general scenarios yet, 20/50 podcast reference my brother and our discussion(s) inaccurately.
She refuses to take them down because she receives attention and believes she's aiding others; which would be quite possible. He ask that she changes the names of her characters, her name on the podcast, as the information is misleading and inaccurate.
I'm quite alarmed and what like to know if anyone has seen or heard of scenarios similar or common?

Reason: Moved thread and edited title for clarification.

I have never heard of anyone else doing this. It sounds like she's forsaking her marriage for attention. It's not good.
All the ingredients for a blow-up are there: secrecy, betrayal, disrespect, self-centeredness.
A woman I worked with, years ago, told everyone that her husband had cancer and likely would not make it. Coworkers were VERY supportive of her. We gave her many, many of our sick, vacation and personal-time hours we had accrued so she could go with her husband to chemo and doctor appointments and spend time with family and so on. People made her meals brought them to work to give to her. We supported her in other ways too, i.e., money. This went on for months and months.
Come to find out, her husband did not have cancer, was the picture of health and no idea his wife was carrying on the scheme. His reaction--DIVORCE. Smart man. He got full custody of the kids, too.
He should divorce her azz. The only reason why she's continuing with this charade is because she thinks he won't do a damn thing about it, nor will she suffer any consequence.
She is suffering from mental illness, OP. Why has no one insisted she be evaluated?
My brother has a crazy wife too, so I know the deal.
From what I've gathered she has a couple of therapist, which is great.
She has mislead paid professional to believe she had specific ailments i.e. processing disorder, arthritis in her wrist (she wore a brace, received medicine, Physical therapy for 2 years) she had soo much pain in her wrist. New provider sends them to MDs and after evaluation and MRI- Dr. Says you have never had arthritis never once a word of pain nor murmur about arthritis. Same with two serious health issues.
Oddly the doctors overlooked something and apparently went off of her verbiage (she's a nurse).
The therapist believed my brother to be the issue as he's unemotional, he didnt cater to every hospital visit, etc etc. Granted I'm certain he earn his portion of the headache. He's not clear of the burden.
She's generally a great woman and my brother will never speak poorly of her because that's his wife and quite commendable on his behave.
Worst part she's alienated her friends, and both sides of the family. Most everyone prefers to steer clear of- either avoid possible tension, avoid him, certainly a weird ordeal.
She behaves as if it's normal and she did nothing slanderous or insulting.

LOL ok our definitions of a "great woman" differ.
No wonder she does it - he won't do anything about it. smh
