Could my grandmother have had Munchausen Proxy?

Munchausen Proxy is a mental disorder where the mother tries and harms the kid for attention and drama. I think my grandmother had this. She had twins and they both died mysteriously ... both of them????? Then she had a son and he wanted to go to WWII and she didn't want him to go, so she may have gotten him sick. He was turning 17 but still a baby mama's boy, I think. Then before he went away to Navy school, he got really sick and they didn't know what was wrong. He died mysteriously too! Then my mother got a ready made illness Polio and was in an iron lung for two years, but my grandmother stood by her, but my grandmother had signs of this mental disorder. The survivors of this disorder become childlike with their own kids which happened to my mother and my younger sister, who is like the mother! Also, the child of the victims of Munchausen Proxy (the survivors) become hypocondriacs, and cry wolf types, as I was as a child and almost to adulthood until I understood!
