Gypsy-Rose Blanchard
About this listen
A victim of her mother’s Munchausen by proxy and child abuse survivor, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s unique and controversial case made headlines across the world.
Now, she’s finally free to start living her life on her terms—and to tell her own story as only she can.
Forced to use a wheelchair in public and endure a lifetime of faux illness, fraud, and exploitation, Gypsy was subjected not only to her mother’s medical, physical, and emotional abuse, but deprived of childhood milestones. Prevented from attending school or socializing, Gypsy’s formative years were defined by pain and isolation.
After serving eight years in prison for the role she played in her mother Dee Dee’s murder, Gypsy is embracing her fresh start—and reminding all of us that it’s never too late.
In this revelatory, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful memoir, Gypsy shares the painful realities she grew up with and the details of her life that only she knows, including:
• The abusive cycle that began with Dee Dee’s abuse by her father
• Gypsy’s fear that continued unnecessary surgery would leave her truly disabled
• How she coped with guilt and accepted responsibility for her mother’s death
• Memories of her final days in prison
• What she learned upon reviewing her own medical records for the first time
• How it felt to finally see her family again as her authentic self
Featuring new facts about Gypsy’s life that she previously kept private, My Time to Stand offers an unprecedented look at the real Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, proudly embarking on her ongoing journey to recovery and self-discovery.

profiting from heinous crime
I liked that I could compare the actual on-going proven lies against what was written in the book. So many contradictions in the book compared to facts that are proven with receipts. I find the book disturbing due to GR willingness to portray her life as a victim. Legal documents plus words coming straight from GR mouth amaze it clear to all who read the book that GR is a pathological liar. The book is poorly read also. I wouldn't waste my money if you're looking for the truth.

Good to hear her story in her own words
I'd followed Gypsy's story now and then over the years and it was good to hear it in her own words
The book was written articulately and read beautifully
She reflects on her behaviour, on the issues her mother had and why.
I can see why she felt she had no other way out and I feel sad she was let down by so many professionals that should have seen her

not great!
for someone who had so much supposed "trauma" due to her mum's actions, she sure sounds like she has alot of love and misses her mum alot...having looked more into her story, this book is a lot of lies and misinformation

Half of this is full of lies, and she contradicts herself so many times
The whole thing is full of lies and she has continued to change her story to many times. this makes her story even more confusing because what she has already said in the past has now changed. why do you mean you said it a month before you killed her then once again said it was 2 years? way to many knots and kinks in this story. felt more like listening to a fiction story from school. and her voice is annoying, get someone else to read it

Reads like a soap opera
Story time with Gypsy! Read between the lines and you’ll see the lies in her story. Glad I didn’t waste my money on this rubbish.
