Gypsy Rose Blanchard is opening up about celebrating Mother’s Day with the female figures in her life and not with her late mom, who was murdered in June 2015.
The 32-year-old Munchausen by proxy victim was convicted of second-degree murder for her mom Dee Dee‘s death and served nearly eight years in prison.
Gypsy-Rose is celebrating her first Mother’s Day after her prison sentence and she’s highlighting her stepmother Kristy on the special day. She also took a moment to address the absence of her late mother.

“It does not go without notice that my own biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother’s Day and what I choose to feel on Mother’s Day regarding my own mother is that I think the best of her,” she said in the video.
She continued, “I think about the good times. I think about her as not what she did to me, but I think about her as a person … Was she a good mom? No. Was she the best mom in the world? No. But she was still my mom so what I choose to feel about her, whether that be guilt, anger, grief, resentment — whatever. That’s mine to feel. No one can take away my own feelings about my own mother, and I feel like no one should be able to have an opinion about my mother except for her family and me because we were the people closest to her.”
“I choose to remember her for the good that was in her heart that I truly believe was there,” she continued. “I have been working for years on forgiveness, and I hope that she is in heaven, and I hope that to some degree I make her proud of at least some of the achievements that I’ve made in my life in growing up and standing on my own two feet, learning through experiences, because in heaven, they say that all mental afflictions, all physical afflictions are gone, right? It makes you perfect in heaven, so if you take away the mental afflictions that my mother had, then I think what’s left is a good person.”
