Gypsy Rose Blanchard

Nothing that I can really touch on specifically.

I mean, all I know is that, you know, from birth to, you know, five years old-ish, you know, the simplicity of having my mom, even with the medical stuff.

Kind of.

Kind of.

Well, my mom, how do I put this?

My mom was very anti-men.

Once my father broke her heart, it's kind of like I grew up with a mom that became

bitter i'm just gonna put it out there bitter um that every man is a horrible douchebag that is just out to hurt everyone so my mom never like my mom wanted me to be a nun literally and she was gonna put me in a convent like she really wanted me to be a nun even though i never expressed to her that i wanted to be one um so

Knowing that, I always knew she didn't want me to date.

You can't stop the curiosity in a child or a teen.

And that's where I was at.

You know, I was curious about the opposite sex.

I was wondering, you know, so-and-so lives down the street.

She has a boyfriend.

Right.

And I started comparing my life to other, you know, people around my age.

Watching the Disney Channel, they have these sort of pseudo-boyfriends on TV.

tv shows and stuff yes um so i started getting curious but i got curious in the wrong way so instead of you know obviously kids meet other kids via school i wasn't in school so i went to the internet

And I found creeps on the internet.

I did things on the internet I'm not proud of, like take my clothes off for strangers.
