À propos de cet audio

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.

Not what I expected -

I had been waiting for the opportunity to hear Gypsy's side of the story. Her POV. After she came out of prison, she blew up so quickly and in the blink of an eye everything changed. why? I have listened to the book twice. Hearing her voice narrate her perception of her life makes it difficult to not hold her own words against her. A few contradictions happen in the book. And its ok, because its her POV. She didn't have a regular upbringing, it would be unfair to ask her to behave in a regular way instantly. She has a long way to go. This book made me realize Gypsy is probably not operating at her actual age, but at a much younger age where she is probably stuck due to unresolved trauma. She could also be struggling with BPD. This is just my opinion. This book isnt for kids to read as it has lots of sexual content. The book paints a clear image of how she perceives the role she played in unaliving her mother but still doesnt give us the why.... why would that be the only way out? Why did her mother HAVE to die that way. We will probably never know. This book feels like a resume and slight correction of the movies and documentaries that came out about her story, with a few extra details.

the wording

okay so idk if she got her GED in jail but like she mentioned alot she getting past like a pre-K level and you can definitely tell she didn't have much say in the writing because it is very good for someone who only has a pre k level of school but her pov is different she does contradict alot of things she's said in the documenty well she was still in jail and after in interviews and podcast so I'm just really confused on what actually happened because she does say one thing in the book but another thing in these documenty, interviews and podcast maybe she needs to be called out for changing her story

Sub-Par

This book is not overly well written making it hard listen. There are some pretty graphic points that could be triggering to the listener. This felt like a six hour journal entry that was both positive and negative, Gypsy has a lot of healing to do. Overall I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.

Positives: I appreciate that Gypsy read her own book and that this was clearly her perspective and not someone else’s.

there will be a lot of "hate" reviews

the way the internet turned from supporting to hating is absolutely wild and the reviews for this book will reflect that.
the trauma is evident in this book and in the reading of it. personally, i found it to be a good listen. it was a hard one but good.

powerful

minus the slight error of 2 repeated sentences towards the beginning, the story itself was powerful and enlightening. I've never been a Gypsy hater, I'm glad she's here to be able to share her story. So raw, so beautiful.

Absolutely disgusting. Profits from murder.

Where do I start?

The ghost writer has carefully curated the narrative to tell Gypsy’s story in a way that is intelligent and logical. The issue with this is it is evident to anyone who has ever heard Gypsy speak or heard her back story that the narrative is not being written authentically. Gypsy frequently states she has very little formal education- describing that her education ended while she was in Kindergarten or Grade 2 (depending on which source Gypsy speaks to) and completing a GED. When the book is being narrated or read the vocabulary is simply too scholarly and I do not believe that Gypsy herself would understand the word’s meanings.

Additionally, the actual bulk of the book is horrific and disgusting. Gypsy discusses the graphic details in which her mother was murdered, alleged sexual assault, details dirty laundry of her father being a drunk and drug addict, and is absolutely cruel when discussing Nick Godejohn. What is more disturbing is the detail in which Gypsy describes her sexual encounters. I am an avid True Crime and Thriller reader and am not easily upset or disturbed from graphic content. However, I was not prepared for the amount of breaks I needed to take while reading as I became physically ill from the gruesome details.

I will give Gypsy credit for her actual narration of the book as it is evident that she was coached into reading the book professionally with appropriate speed, dictation, and annunciation.

reflective and healing

Very captivating life story and honest. Gypsy is often underestimated and victim blamed but she is someone who endured a lot and is just trying to move on from a life that was very much taken from her. She deserves far more empathy than she is given.

heartbreaking

Gypsy-Rose has been through so much, I'm glad she's finding her way after everything. The story is well told and well narrated.

Horrible

I couldn’t get past the first 3 min of her reading. Sounds like a 3rd grader.
