Gypsy Rose Blanchard speaks about abuse she experienced during childhood
Amid the years of abuse, there was a point in Blanchard's life when she felt the lowest after her first attempt to leave.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Blanchard said, "That was a really, really hard time for me because she chained me to the bed and I was chained for two weeks."
"That was one of the moments in my life that I'm like, 'I can't keep living this way'" she added.
However, Blanchard, a survivor of Munchausen by Proxy, who was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2015 killing of her biological mother, further reflected on regretting the path she chose to escape from Dee Dee.
"I would go back and change things if I could," said Blanchard whose six-part docuseries by Lifetime 'The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard' premiered on Friday, January 5.
"I would definitely do things differently. I wish that I could, I unfortunately can't. It's real life, so you don't have a time machine," she continued.
"Nobody will ever hear me say I'm glad she's dead or I'm proud of what I did. I regret it every single day," said Blanchard.
