Gypsy Rose Blanchard is recalling “good times” with her late mother on Mother’s Day

“I think about the good times. I don’t think of her as what she did to me, but I think of her as a person… Was she a good mom? NO. Was she the best mom in the world? No,” she continued. “But she was still my mom, so I decided how to feel about her, whether it was guilt, anger, regret, resentment – whatever. This is my feeling.”
Gypsy Rose explained that “no one can take her away” or change how she feels about her mom, regardless of what other people think.
“I feel like no one should have an opinion about my mother except her family and me because we were the closest people to her,” she said.
