That's my thought as well. I do think Gypsy is a victim. We will have to wait and see if she had any part in her mother's death. There are so many discrepancies in the whole back story. Over the years, Gypsy's illnesses and conditions have varied and "evolved", (my opinion, based on reading the articles about her over the years.)
The age discrepancy is a big red flag to me. Also I find it odd that in photos she is often dressed in cutesy matching clothes and hats. Would a 19-year-old or 23-year-old woman dress like that by choice? Seems like she is being dressed to appear younger and more vulnerable than she actually is.
If she had leukemia at one time and lost her hair to chemo, she would not still be missing her hair. It grows back after chemo treatments. There were some RUMORS that her mother shaved her head.
Also it looks like her mother has moved around a lot and has used several different names. Clauddinnea, Claudinea, Claudina, Deno, Dee Dee, etc. and last names Blancharde, Blanchard, Pitre, Plasisance, Plaisplaisan, etc. Her age shows up as ranging between 54 and 59.
And there are more signs that I won't go into...
