Mommy Dead and Dearest

South Lafourche represent!

Seriously though. What a twisted and sad story.

but sounds like it was a case of Munchausen by proxy. Was that what happened?

That is exactly what happened.

Shaved her head, and made her believe that her legs didn't work, so she was in a wheelchair for a while.


Some blame should fall on the father, but when the mother has custody, and her and Gypsy kept moving further and further away, what is he supposed to do? Move with them?

When he was told that his daughter had a debilitating, crippling disease, and was he really supposed to question it, especially when Dee Dee made it look like Gypsy truly had a disease?

That is a tough spot. He seemed like a pretty good dude in the doc, and he seems to genuinely want to be there for her, not to mention the tremendous guilt he clearly carries.

I think that he should've been more weary knowing what type of person Dee Dee was, but you don't really expect someone to be that evil.

Really sad stuff. I hope Gypsy can lead a relatively normal life when she gets out, even though you have to believe that it will be tough for her. She seems pretty intelligent, and good-hearted, despite the mental chains that she was shackled with her whole life. Hopefully her father will start a college fund for her for when she gets out, if he hasn't already.

Holy shite....very telling that Dee Dees entire family was glad she died and wanted to flush her down the toilet.
