Gypsy Rose Blanchard

No one is going to say, okay, I can see that you're not ready.

We'll be back in two, three years.

Whenever you're ready to talk, we'll be here.

That's not what they say.

That's not how they present it.

And so I have kind of thought about choices that I have made and not necessarily regret, but I feel like I could have done some choices differently for the benefit of my own healing instead of jumping right in.

I think that if I could have gone back and done things differently, I would have waited to share my story in its entirety until after I've had therapy.

Because I started, you know, I'm not saying that I regret writing my memoir.

I just kind of feel like the timing of it, I wish I would have...

gotten intense therapy as I was or even before writing the manuscript, because there are some things now that I have healed from that I can maybe elaborate a little differently on.

or have hindsight that could have helped me back then.

But like I said, you know, I am appreciative of all of the media outlets and the producers that have

given me a platform to share my story because I feel like in a sense that helped a lot of people be aware of Munchausen by proxy.

But it is kind of like at the expense of me.

So that's something that now, two years later of being free, you know, getting out of prison,

I am knee deep in therapy.

You know, I am doing the work.

And as I'm doing the work, I'm starting to have realizations and understandings more of my feelings and give myself that grace.

Hold myself accountable for the wrong choices that I've made, but give myself slowly self-forgiveness too.

Thank you.
