Summary
A victim of her mother’s Munchausen by proxy and child abuse survivor, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s unique and controversial case made headlines across the world.Now, she’s finally free to start living her life on her terms—and to tell her own story as only she can.Forced to use a wheelchair in public and endure a lifetime of faux illness, fraud, and exploitation, Gypsy was subjected not only to her mother’s medical, physical, and emotional abuse, but deprived of childhood milestones. Prevented from attending school or socializing, Gypsy’s formative years were defined by pain and isolation.After serving eight years in prison for the role she played in her mother Dee Dee’s murder, Gypsy is embracing her fresh start—and reminding all of us that it’s nevertoo late.In this revelatory, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful memoir, Gypsy shares the painful realities she grew up with and the details of her life that only she knows, including:• The abusive cycle that began with Dee Dee’s abuse by her father• Gypsy’s fear that continued unnecessary surgery would leave her truly disabled• How she coped with guilt and accepted responsibility for her mother’s death• Memories of her final days in prison• What she learned upon reviewing her own medical records for the first time• How it felt to finally see her family again as her authentic selfFeaturing new facts about Gypsy’s life that she previously kept private, My Time to Stand offers an unprecedented look at the real Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, proudly embarking on her ongoing journey to recovery and self-discovery.

listened with an open mind. I was rooting for Gypsy when she was released from prison. Since then she has done countless interviews where she doesn’t take accountability and blames Nick for everything. There are so many inconsistencies in this book based on Gypsy’s words she has said in other interviews, interrogations, medical reports and witnesses. What I struggled the most with is that she glorified her dad even though he was a crapy dad but tore her mom to shreds. She spoke a lot about things before she was born based on hear say. That is not a memoir. Gypsy is a self proclaimed liar. The accounts that she gas given in this book can’t be verified by Gypsy. There are so many things that can be debunked that Gypsy has written in this book with real evidence. I know the detectives from her case are having a very hard time continuously listening to the many different stories Gypsy tells and hopefully they will write a book one day when they retire about this case. This is true crime. Gypsy will always be known as a true crime case even if she doesn’t want to. The main part that made give this book a 1 review is that she said that her final straw to take her mom out what a month before because of the “thought” of exploratory surgery on her throat. It was a kill or be killed situation? How does she explain planning the murder for over 2 years if it was only a month prior to the murder? Like I said, so many inconsistencies. Because of that alone, I just can’t. She attempted to murder her mom three times and on the 3rd attempt, she succeeded using Nick as her weapon. Why she hasn’t been charged with attempted murder for the other two times shows that Missouri has the worst government especially after she has been telling the world she attempted other times but instead, she is given a huge platform to continue with bigger stories. I was severely abused growing up but never once thought to murder my dad. Many others have been abused as well. She had many opportunities to leave as have been proven. Like I said, I was rooting for Gypsy to succeed because I believed her story but since she has been released she hasn’t shut up with inconsistencies and flaunting her train-wreck of a life and blaming everyone but herself. She has blamed her mom, grandpa, Nick, neighbor, prison friends, Ryan and content creators. Gypsy will always be the victim while everyone she victimizes are the wrong doers.

I've went down the rabbit hole so to speak with her whole case. This book is a memoir of true mental instability and disgusting.
