Gypsy Rose Blanchard

And there was resentment that boiled up, you know, it wasn't there in early childhood because I was so innocent.

But then the more time went on, the more anger and resentment built up.

Like, you don't let me go over to dad's and spend nights over or weeks over with dad.

Um, I can never keep a friend.

I might have a friend for a week and then all of a sudden my mom starts to get jealous of this friend.

And we're talking a child, you know, we're talking an eight year old child that you're getting jealous of.

Um,

And there was always something that was wrong or off about that child.

So I could no longer have that friend.

And it happened over and over and over again.

You know, most people have that best friend child, you know, the best friend growing up as a child.

I never had that.

Never had that.

And that was a continuous cycle for everyone in my life.

Yeah.

And so it's like I knew that no matter who it would be that I would get close to, it wouldn't matter because they would be, you know, they wouldn't be in my life forever.

The only forever was my mom.

Mm-hmm.

Everything.

We slept in the same bed.
