What happened between this loving mother and daughter? Is it the malicious planting of the criminal murderer, or is there another hidden story? Next, please join me in understanding the hidden story behind the whole thing.
Single mothers hold up a "protective umbrella" for disabled women
Didi Blanchard was born in 1967, she is a native of Louisiana. When he was young, Didi looked very nice and had a pair of deep eyes that were very charming.
After graduating from school in his twenties, Didi successfully entered a hospital and became a nurse. Originally, she could meet a doctor in the hospital, and the two married smoothly and led a dull and happy life.
However, the young and energetic Didi fell madly in love with Rod Blanchard.
(Didi and Rod)
Rod is a male high school student in a local school. He is seven years younger than Didi. When the two officially fell in love, Rod was only sixteen or seventeen. .
This deformity of love did not have a positive result. The reason is that as Lord grew older, he realized that he was not really Eddie. His feelings for Didi are more of a dependence and admiration for adults, so he wants to pursue his true love.
The abandoned Didi felt distressed, and what made her even more unacceptable was that she was already pregnant with Rod's child.
Didi did not secretly knock out the child, but chose to give birth.When she was twenty-four years old, Gypsy Blanchard was born.
Gypsy is a fat, very cute little baby. Didi tries to use Gypsy to influence Rhode and bring him back to the family. However, Rodriguez was not willing to look back, and even refused to pay Gypsy alimony.
Didi is alone with the child and has no financial means, so he has to stay with his father and stepmother temporarily.
The days of the mother and daughter were pretty passable, , but when the Gypsy was three months old, Didi discovered that her daughter had symptoms of apnea during sleep.
According to Rod recalls, after Didi took the gypsy to the doctor, he claimed that the gypsy body was very weak. In order to prevent sudden death during sleep, the gypsy needed a ventilator to monitor breathing at any time.
Rod suspects that this is Didi's trick to ask himself for money. Later, Gypsy's body became weaker and weaker, and Didi took her to the doctor many times.

At first, Gypsy's eyes developed discomfort, and then her digestive system also began to have problems. When the gypsy was seven or eight years old, her muscles gradually atrophied, and eventually swallowing became a problem.
In order to avoid being choked by saliva and suffocate , Didi decided to remove the salivary glands of the gypsy. However, removal of the salivary glands has many side effects. The gypsy's teeth gradually fall off. Due to the lack of tooth support, the gypsy's lips also begin to shrink inward, and finally the whole person looks like an old man.
Rod did not understand how his daughter could suffer from so many inexplicable diseases. Didi told him that is because the gypsy's chromosome association is disordered, which affects the function of many organs.
(Rhodes and Gypsy)
is not only the continuous occurrence of lesions on the body,Gypsy’s brain has also been damaged. ’s intelligence will always stay at the age of seven or eight, and she will have no ability to take care of herself for a lifetime.
Because Gypsy suffers from leukemia, asthma, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairment, paralysis below the waist and other diseases, Didi has prepared a special small medicine box for her, which contains the medicines she needs to take every day.
Every day, the young gypsy has to take a bunch of pills and then eat, and after eating, he has to take another bunch of pills. In addition to treatment drugs, gypsy also needs to take anti-anxiety drugs and other mood-relieving drugs, and even urinate and defecate also need the help of drugs.
Not only that, these drugs also have great side effects. Gypsy is weak every day and struggles to maintain his life.
Gypsy dropped out of school only in the second grade of elementary school. Didi gave her basic education at home, taught her literacy, gave her massage care, and pushed her to the park to relax.
Due to the terrifying face of the Gypsy, almost no children are willing to get along with her, she only faces Didi and her grandparents every day.
(Didi and Gypsy)
As the age grows, the cost of Gypsy will become more and more expensive, In order to continue the treatment of Gypsy, Didi once forged cheques. Clang into jail.
All the dissatisfaction accumulated between Didi and his father and stepmother, and finally one day this resentment broke out completely.
On this day, Didi was furious and put some fertilizer in his stepmother's food. The stepmother was poisoned and was taken to the hospital. After lying in bed for nine months, her body gradually recovered.
Didi was kicked out of the house because of this, and she took the gypsy to live a wandering life again. While working, Didi also took the gypsy around to seek medical advice.
In 2005, Didi and Gypsy’s temporary home was destroyed by a hurricane. In desperation, the two had to move to Covington ,Stay in a local relief agency.
(Relief Department)
During the days in the almshouse, Didi did not forget to take a gypsy to see a doctor. On one occasion, the doctor suggested that a Gypsy birth certificate was needed for her to be hospitalized. However, the Gypsy birth certificate was lost in the hurricane. In desperation, Didi had to take the Gypsy to Missouri for treatment.
Due to the special appearance of the Gypsy, the mother and daughter gradually attracted social attention, and many people extended their helping hands to raise money for the mother and daughter.
The airline learned that Didi was going to Missouri to treat her daughter, so they provided them with free flights and sent special people to help them meet their emergency needs.
Didi is very grateful for the assistance provided by the airlines. She once said that she has no other wish in this life, but that she hopes that her daughter can live longer and stay with her for longer.
Not only that, Gypsy was also selected as the child of the year of the foundation that provides assistance to patients with tube irrigation. Habitat for Humanity provides them with free housing, and the house also has wheelchairs for the disabled. Ramp.
Gypsy likes Disney princess very much, so she received a free reception from Disney and also received many gifts.
It can be said that Gypsy has received attention and love that has never been received in these years. The deeds of her and her mother's tenacious survival have become a model for the majority of Americans.
In a speech, Didi faced the audience and said to Gypsy: "You are the meaning of my existence, and my existence is to be your mother."
The audience under the stage heard this In other words, they were all moved to tears, and they saw the great maternal love from Didi.
However, is this really the case? No, this moving picture of motherly kindness and filial piety is just a false performance. The relationship between mother and daughter is far less intimate than they showed.
The truth under the "Umbrella"
After the police captured the murderer Nicholas Goodjohn who killed Didi, the police found that he behaved very strangely during the interrogation, very unlike a normal person.
After questioning Nicholas's family, the police learned: It turns out that Nicholas had autism since he was a child. His intelligence is higher than that of a gypsy, but he has not reached the intelligence level of a normal person.
(Nicholas appeared in court)
How did such a mentally impaired man carefully plan and complete a murder? The police felt that this case was not so simple.
With the in-depth investigation of the case, the police gradually discovered that Gypsy was also involved in the murder, and may even be the mastermind!
However, Gypsy is also a person with mental retardation, which is not in line with common sense. So the police summoned the Gypsy, and the truth of the matter was revealed bit by bit.
In court, when Gypsy mentioned Didi, he was not as respectful and dependent as he used to show in front of the camera. On the contrary, he was a look of disgust and contempt.
(Gypsy in court)
According to Gypsy, Didi is not a loving mother, but a heinous demon. Not only did Didi confine the gypsy's body, but he also brainwashed the gypsy and controlled her soul.
everything that Gypsy does,All just to get rid of Didi's control. She thinks that she is like a princess imprisoned on a tower, waiting for the rescue of the knight, and this knight is conceivably Nicholas.
So what did Didi do to Gypsy that caused the Gypsy to hate her?
According to Didi’s childhood neighbors, Didi was not a well-behaved and sensible child when he was a child. It may be because of changes in his father's marriage that Didi's character is very strange. She is a liar and can't stand anyone disobeying her orders.
After Didi gave birth to the Gypsy, her paranoia was completely applied to the Gypsy. Gypsy did have slight muscle weakness when he was young, but it was not a major problem.
(childhood gypsy)
Maybe Didi has received sympathy and attention from others because of her daughter's illness. From then on, if there is any discomfort in the gypsy, Didi thinks that her daughter has a strange disease. , And then took her to the hospital for an examination.
Over time, Didi imagined countless diseases in the gypsy. When the Gypsy was eight years old, he accidentally fell off his grandpa’s motorcycle. Upon seeing this, Didi rushed over and immediately took the gypsy to the hospital for examination.
Since then, Didi has claimed that the gypsy has suffered from muscle atrophy, and since then the gypsy has lived in a wheelchair. In fact, the gypsy fell from the car and caused only a little skin trauma. There was no major problem at all, and there was no so-called chromosomal disease.
For 24 years, Gypsy has only mild muscle atrophy caused by long-term wheelchair use, and there is no other disease.
(Overtreatment Gypsy)
Codidi insists that the Gypsy is sick.Gypsy listened to her mother very much. Even though she had doubts about whether she was really that fragile when she grew up, she eventually believed her mother's words.
In order to create the effects of tongue paralysis and difficulty swallowing, Didi even applied anesthetics to the gypsy tongue. Gypsy's tooth didn't fall out on her own, but Didi secretly took her to a private clinic to get it out.
In addition, Didi even shaved Gypsy's hair. Gypsy's hair grows very fast. Every time a green stubble emerges, Didi shaves her, always keeping her a bald, sickly image.
When the gypsy was more than ten years old, her self-awareness gradually sprouted. During that time, Gypsy became obsessed with science fiction, and she found that the plot in the novel could be understood by herself. She gradually realized that her intelligence was not as low as her mother said.
(Didi who accompanies the Gypsy all the time)
Didi never lets the Gypsy actively make friends. Every time he pushes his daughter out to play, Didi waits quietly not far away. If the gypsy talks to someone for too long, Didi will find an excuse to push her away.
In the eyes of outsiders, Didi is meticulous to Gypsy, holding her hand at all times wherever he goes. But the fact is only Gypsy knows, the mother did this only to monitor her and prevent her from revealing the truth that she is not disabled.
Didi not only created the disability illusion of the Gypsy, but also took advantage of the loss of the Gypsy identity certificate to change the age of the Gypsy by several years.
(Gypsy wearing a wig)
Later, Gypsy began to learn secretly online and make friends online.
Once, Didi discovered the secret of the gypsy. She smashed the computer with a hammer angrily and yelled hysterically at the gypsy. In order to teach the gypsy,Didi tied her to the bed for ten days and guarded her like a prisoner.
Gypsy wanted to escape, but Didi threatened her that she had found a lawyer to prove Gypsy's mental retardation. No matter where the Jeep races, the police will catch her and send her home.
Gypsy felt very desperate. It was in such a desperate mood that she began to hate Didi.
Later, after the gypsy's well-behaved performance, Didi gradually relaxed her vigilance. Gypsy started to use the computer to surf the Internet secretly again. This time, she met Nicholas on the Internet.
(Nicholas and Gypsy)
The two chatted speculatively on the Internet, gradually developed a relationship, and began a period of online dating. Gypsy wanted to introduce Nicholas to Didi, so he arranged a meeting.
However, this meeting ended in failure. After seeing the real Nicholas, Gypsy was a little disappointed in his appearance. She felt that her mother would definitely not agree with the two people, and might even beat the mandarin ducks.
Later, Gypsy wanted to be born with rice and cook mature rice. He was pregnant with Nicholas's child first, so that Didi could not object to the two being together.
But this plan is hard to come true after all, Gypsy has become more and more unbearable Didi's perverted discipline, and finally one day, after she was hysterical, she had a terrible idea-kill Didi.
Imprisoned Freedom
Gypsy talked to Nicholas about this terrible plan. Nicholas hesitated at first, but later agreed.
One night, Nicholas sneaked outside Didi's gate. After confirming that Didi was asleep, Gypsy put Nicholas in and gave her the gloves and dagger he had prepared in advance.
(the murder weapon)
Nicholas let the Gypsy hide in the bathroom,He went to Didi’s room and stabbed Didi a lot of knives in the back, confirming her death before stopping.
Gypsy heard her mother's scream in the bathroom and felt extremely frightened. After the scream disappeared, Gypsy felt a strong relief.
In this way, the two had a triumphant carnival in the bathroom. Afterwards, the Gypsy sent the murder weapon to Nicholas's house by courier, and the two ran away with four thousand dollars raided from the house.
fled to Nicholas's house. Gypsy worried that Didi's body had not been found, so he urged Nicholas to use Didi's account to post the news mentioned at the beginning of the article on the Internet.
(Gypsy escape surveillance)
Gypsy did not expect the police to find Nicholas's home based on the IP address so quickly, she did not escape the legal sanctions.
In the end, Nicholas was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide, and Gypsy was also sentenced for instigating murder. Later, based on a complicated background, Gypsy was only sentenced to ten years in prison for .
While serving in prison, Gypsy gradually grew thick and long hair, and she became more and more like a normal girl.
Life in prison is unbearable for many people. There is no freedom and there is no freedom, and there is labor every day.
(Gypsy under the iron net)
For the gypsy, life in prison is like heaven. She can read the book she wants to read, and she can also talk to others. She had friends, and through the letter and exchange charity activities in the prison, she made a boyfriend who truly fits her.
In prison, Gypsy gradually led the life of ordinary people. Although she was in a cage, she was truly free.
Summary
Some people have speculated that Didi may be suffering from the surrogate Munchausen syndrome in Munchausen syndrome.
(Munchosen’s syndrome)
This is a mental illness. Patients will make up their children, younger siblings, parents, and other illnesses that require others to take care of them, thereby making the other person dependent on themselves. Severe patients may even use poison to cause real harm to the objects in their care.
Such patients need professional psychological counseling and treatment to return to a normal life. If discovered and treated earlier, Didi's mother and daughter may not end in such a tragic way.
When talking about how to deal with Didi’s ashes, Didi’s father said directly: "Just flush the toilet."
(Didi and Gypsy)
It can be seen that his father is pregnant with his daughter. How much hate and prejudice. In fact, is Didi really so vicious? She is also a person who lacks care in her childhood, which leads to psychological deformities.
If someone cared about Didi's physical and mental health earlier, she would not die tragically in the end, nor would the Gypsy suffer so many years of torture, and eventually go to jail.
The tragedies of Didi and Gypsy are not caused by a single person alone. Every indifferent person in the incident needs deep reflection.
