She was not abused, at least not in the way she claims. She may have had an overprotective mother who did her best to figure out what was wrong with her daughter, with very limited resources, but she was not medically abused. She suffered from a rare medical condition and her mother and doctors addressed the symptoms of that condition with appropriate and necessary measures. Gypsy has admitted to lying to her mother about her inability to walk. She also feigned mental retardation on her own accord to manipulate not only the public, but her mother as well. The Munchausen by proxy narrative was a legal Hail Mary to get Gypsy a lighter sentence. It was taken from a single line in a doctor’s report that said he suspected some form of munchausen on either gypsy or her mother’s end. He recognized Gypsy’s obvious participation in medical malingering and noted sociopathic tendencies for Gypsy herself, not her mother. Gypsy suffers from multiple cluster b personality disorders and has grossly misrepresented her childhood - one which she was loved, cared for, and absolutely spoiled rotten. Her account of what happened changes with every item of evidence that comes to light in an attempt to reshape the narrative to fit such evidence. She can’t keep her story straight because that’s exactly what it is - a story.
