Gypsy Rose Blanchard reflects on her mother in Mother’s Day video

Before honoring the women, she explained that she turned off the comments on the post because she didn’t want to hear any negativity.

“If you want to talk bad about me, sure, I don’t give a shit. Do it on your own platform, but I won’t see that in my comments,” she said.

Blanchard then discussed the conflicting emotions she faces on Mother’s Day.

“It doesn’t go unnoticed that my biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother’s Day,” she said. “And what I choose to feel on Mother’s Day about my own mother is that I think the best of her. I think about the good times. I think of her not as what she did to me, but I think of her as a person.”

She continued: “Was she a good mother? No. Was she the best mother in the world? No. But she was still my mother. So whatever I choose to feel about her – whether it’s guilt, anger, sadness, resentment, whatever – is mine to feel. No one can take away my own feelings towards my own mother. And I feel like no one should be able to have an opinion about my mom except her family and me because we were the closest people to her.”

Blanchard said other opinions about her mother don’t matter to her.

When she thinks of her mother, Blanchard said she remembers “the good that was in her heart.”

Blanchard revealed that he has been learning to forgive his mother for years and hopes to be in heaven.

“And I hope that, to some extent, I make you proud of at least some of the achievements that I have achieved in my life,” she shared.

She also acknowledged that she regrets the situation.

“So I’m going to say a prayer for her today,” she added before mentioning her stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, ex-fiancée Ken Urker mother and other role models she admires.

At the end of the clip, she expressed her gratitude to the women who support her.

“I know I’m still learning. And I hope to continue trying to make you proud and show you what I can be,” she said as she began to get emotional. “Thank you for loving me at a time when I felt unlovable. And accept myself no matter what, because that means everything to me.”

Following her release from prison in December 2023, Blanchard, 32, has been filming documentaries about her case and also keeping fans updated on social media about her life as a free woman.

She briefly deleted her TikTok and Instagram accounts in March, but she returned to the video sharing app on May 1st to check in. Her too debuted her new blonde hair with highlights.
