Why a Woman with an Unstable Identity Killed Her Friend to Steal Her Unborn Baby | Taylor Parker

Taylor Parker didn’t just fake a pregnancy, she manufactured a false identity, and when that identity began to collapse, Reagan Simmons-Hancock and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn Sage, paid the price. In this episode of Cycles That Kill, Dr. Dylesia examines the case featured in Netflix’s Maternal Instinct through the lens of identity disturbance, emotional dysregulation, compulsive deception, and maternal emotional unavailability. This isn't just a story about fetal abduction, it’s a story about a woman whose real self never felt like enough, a mother who watched her daughter’s lies grow, and the deadly consequences of a cycle no one interrupted.
