different illnesses ranging from muscular dystrophy leukemia seizures vision slash hearing loss and the list goes on thankfully her mother dede was always there for her the mother and daughter were beloved by their community even habitat for humanity built a house for them to aid with gypsy's needs for years she would be on treatment undergo surgeries and be on medication even sleeping with a breathing machine to help with her sleep apnea but something strange was going on that nobody was aware of you see gypsy rose was always in a wheelchair despite being able to walk and ever since she was a kid she was fed through a tube but never actually needed one the person with the illness was never gypsy rose it was her mother dede who made up all these disorders and lied to her own daughter her entire life it started when she was an infant spending time in a neonatal intensive care unit at eight years old she fell off her grandfather's motorcycle and injured her knee although it was nothing serious dede forced her to stay in a wheelchair so it wouldn't get worse it wasn't until they moved to missouri that neurologist dr flasterstein realized that she doesn't have muscular dystrophy and he suspected gypsy rose was the victim of munchausen syndrome by proxy her mother was making up everything and put her own daughter through so much pain when she was actually healthy her teeth were rotting from the anti-seizure medication and when he confronted her about past medical records dede said all the documents were destroyed alongside their old home during hurricane katrina feeling attacked didi made a mental note not to see dr flaster stein anymore and unfortunately the neurologist didn't pursue this case further fast forward a couple years gypsy rose now 19 had been suspecting for a while that she never had any diseases and needed someone to save her she would sneak out and ask the neighbor for help to bring her to the hospital but deity would always intercept and convinced them that her daughter had brain damage and didn't know what she was talking about without hesitation people believed the mother and gypsy rose found it impossible for anyone to listen it got worse when one day she escaped to meet a guy at a sci-fi convention she had been chatting with online and dede caught them together in a hotel room enraged she smashed her computer threatening her daughter that she will use the hammer on her fingers if she ever tried to escape again for the next two weeks gypsy rose was chained to her bed her fear of deity was at its peak and she became desperate during the night when her mother fell asleep gypsy rose would go online to a dating website and that is when she met nicholas goldjon he was a 23 year old with multiple personalities and had a criminal record for indecent exposure her relationship with nicholas grew quickly and for over a year they would message each other secretly on facebook soon after gypsy rose told him about the
