Carl's constantly lying about his illnesses.
There's a strong possibility
that Carl has Munchausen syndrome.
Carl claims he has kidney cancer, bladder cancer,
liver cancer.
Carl did say that he had kidney failure.
He's claimed that he's had seven or eight
massive heart attacks, two last week.
I'm having chest pains right now.
I think this year he was probably calling 911
once, twice a week.
Carl's claimed that he's needed triple
and quadruple bypass surgeries and that's not true.
When he tells me that he had a heart attack
and he's walking out of the hospital within an hour,
that's a lie.
Carl's told me multiple times that he's dying.
Carl takes insulin for his diabetes.
I have to stick myself with either injections
or checking my blood sugar at least 25 times a day
with a needle.
Carl also drinks 10, 12 or more Pepsi's a day.
Why are you smoking?
Why are you drinking these Pepsi's?
Why don't you do something
to extend your life for your children?
And it's like I'm talking to a brick wall.
Carl take a lot of different pills everyday.
Blood pressure medication, medication for his diabetes,
high blood pressure.
Carl posts a lot of pitiful poor me posts on Facebook.
Carl's relationship with his daughters is very strained.
Everyone basically is done with Carl.
Over the years, I've given Carl
tens of thousands of dollars.
Carl called me and told me last month
that he hadn't eaten in like 20 days.
I didn't believe that at all.
If you don't eat for 20 days, you're not gonna be alive.
I don't give Carl money anymore.
He's a manipulative, self-centered person
and he has no feelings for what he does
to anyone else.
Well, you don't have to guess where she stands.
Carl's daughter, Hilary, says her dad
harasses her nonstop about his health problems
and fake illnesses and she just can't take it anymore.
Take a look.
My dad is a very good manipulator, con artist and liar.
My dad has been faking illnesses for 18 years.
My father keeps himself sick on purpose.
My dad takes an extraordinary amount of medication
every single day.
Celexa, isosorbide.
We have (mumbles), Zantac, Seroquel.
You know, I really can't remember
what they give it to me for.
I do believe my father has Munchausen syndrome.
He'll eat a pack of gum and then call the ambulance
because his blood sugar is high.
My dad calls 911 sometimes six times a week.
I believe my father's been in the emergency room
at least 200 times in the last year.
He has shut out everyone except for me
simply because everyone else has given up
dealing with him.
I am the last person that puts up with his (beep).
My dad will start calling my phone at six o'clock
in the mornings and if I don't answer,
he'll call and call.
And when I answer it, he's begging me for something
whether it be money, Xanax, food,
cigarettes, anything.
When I cannot provide it, he starts cussing at me.
This is (beep) ridiculous.
I'm very sick of it.
He has called me multiple times telling he was dying.
That he had like three to six months to live.
That is not true.
It is very unfair to me.
Okay, why do you think this is going on
and when did it start?
You said he used to be everybody's favorite,
life of the party, fun guy.
Absolutely, he was.
When did it switch and why?
I think it switched probably in 97, maybe 96,
and I don't really know why it switched.
My father passed away in 97.
You know, Carl had a back injury,
started taking pain medications
and first it was Xanax,
then he started taking pain medications and stuff
and he became a different person.
You've confronted him about this.
What have you said to him?
I've told him I said, you know Carl
you've gotta stop doing the pills.
He lies really bad about all these different illnesses
that he has and, you know, it's just kind of like
you get to the point where you don't believe him anymore.
And I've just told him, I said you're destroying your life,
you're destroying your children.
What's he say about it now when you say don't believe you,
you're just crazy, don't believe you.
You need to stop doing this, what's he say?
I'm not lying.
I am sick.
I've had kidney cancer.
I have kidney failure.
He told us six years ago that he was in renal failure
and my husband's like, well what about dialysis?
Oh hell, I'm not taking that.
I'm not doing that.
