There is an essay about VC Andrews in the book Read Harder -- "Dark Family" by Sara Gran and Megan Abbot. It does not answer the question directly but it gives a few tidbits about Andrews' life.

This is from Wikipedia: The book was much disputed when the novel was said to be based on a true story. For many years there was no evidence to support this claim, and the book was passed off as fiction. Nonetheless, the official V.C. Andrews website claims to have contacted one of Andrews' relatives. This unidentified relative claimed Flowers in the Attic was loosely based on a faintly similar account. While at the "University of Virginia hospital for treatment...she developed a crush on her young doctor. He and his siblings had been locked away in the attic for over 6 years to preserve the family wealth."
