5 posts | 3 read
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard discovered that her whole life was a lie. After eight-and-a-half years of incarceration, she can finally tell you the truthwith this exclusive collection of interview transcripts and journal entries, plus her own illustrations and photos. While incarcerated for her role in her mothers death, Gypsy saw her story told by others again and again in the media, from news reports and podcasts to TV series like The Act (Hulu). Now, granted early parole and preparing to start a new life, shes free to speak directly to her supporters and the world. Falsely told that she suffered from debilitating, chronic illnesses, Gypsy grew up enduring physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother Dee Dee, including unnecessary medication and surgery. But her desperate attempts to escape a lifetime of isolation led Gypsy into the grip of another abuser, ultimately resulting in her mothers murder. Released is Gypsys frank, unflinching, and deeply personal reflection on her past, present, and hoped-for future, and includes: Exclusive interviews with Gypsy recorded during her time in prison Gypsys contemplative writing on trust and betrayal, love and freedom, self-worth and identity, prison life, her marriage, and other personal issues Personal photos, drawings, and other memories from years past Created with writers Melissa Moore and Michele Matrisciani, Released is a declaration of Gypsys resolve to turn her pain into perseverance, take accountability for her actions, and help others escape the trap that circumscribed her life for so long.

Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️ Phone conversations between Gypsy-Rose and journalist Melissa Moore, whose father, weirdly enough, is a serial killer (I will obvs be going down that rabbit hole soon). Anyway, this was the worst quality ebook I‘ve ever read. I bet, in total, about 20 pages wouldn‘t load. I just kept going as I got the gist. Still annoying. Looking forward to Gypsy‘s actual memoir which she mentions here, but I can‘t find a pub date yet.

“Being a people-pleaser requires you to submit a part of yourself to the person you aim to please. You give up your own needs and desires, and put the person‘s interests in front of your own. In return you expect a payment in the form of validation and acceptance. This kind of currency is dangerous because the cost is you.”

Pre-ordered Gypsy Rose Blanchard's ebook. I'm looking forward to reading her story from her perspective.
