Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, who plotted to murder her mother, revealed in a recent interview how she recognized her mother's fabrications concerning her illnesses from a young age. Claudine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, suffering from Munchausen syndrome By Proxy, falsely claimed her daughter was afflicted with various health issues, including leukemia. Despite the fabricated conditions, Gypsy-Rose realized her capabilities and sought freedom, ultimately leading to a tragic convergence when she met Nicholas Godejohn and planned her mother's murder to escape the control.
"I knew that I could walk. I knew that I could eat, so I didn't need the feeding tube. But the other things like cancer, you can't see that."
"By the end of it all, there was not a single part of my body that didn't have something supposedly wrong with it."
"Due to Blanchard's alleged illnesses, the family received assistance from charities. Blanchard said she tried to do everything she could to get out from under her mother's thumb."
"After Blanchard's true story came to light, it soon became clear that Claudine had Munchausen syndrome By Proxy."
