I could never understand how you could treat your daughter the way Gypsy’s mum treated her. It’s just psychotic and I know it’s a sickness but it’s just horrible to hear what Gypsy went through. 

She was kept prisoner in her own home, bound to a wheelchair, and believed she had so many things wrong with her but she didn’t. Part of me wishes she never went to prison, but I don’t condone murder, I just wonder what I would have done to save myself if I were in Gypsy’s position. 

Dee Dee was a sick, sad, desperate woman, and I feel sorry for her but that’s also kind of what she would have wanted and I think she should have been held accountable to her actions, where she ended up in prison and Gypsy didn’t. 

Part of me doesn’t blame Gypsy for begging someone to help her in any way, sacrificing her own body to have her mother killed. 

Part of me thinks she should have been given help not prison time for being the orchestrator. 

In some ways all I see is Gypsy asking for help, though help didn’t need to come in the shape of murder. And a murder so violent as this one. I have seen the crime scene/Dee Dee’s body at the scene as someone interested in true crime I find it very important to have a concrete idea of the scene and situation. It comforts me that Gypsy has not seen these images. I feel like I can bear that weight for her, she doesn’t need to remember her mother like that. She should get to remember the sweeter things about her mother, despite how she was treated by her mother. 

I’m proud Gypsy has experienced so many major life changes in the last year or so since her release. Now she herself is a mother and we can only hope she will raise her daughter with all the love, safety, genuine concern, and appreciation a true mother is famed for giving and not desperately taking.
