Exactly that. She’s thriving in prison and from an interview I saw of her, appears very happy. The abuse she endured that’s depicted in the show I mentioned above is awful. I don’t condone what happened whatsoever but it was sheer desperation on her part I think, a way for it to just “stop“.

...yeah and she wouldn’t have had the physical strength herself, hence her persuasion of Nicholas Godejohn...plus I’ve know children of different types of abuse and their love for their parent/the abuser is still unshakeable...which is obviously a part of the control, to abuse that craving of a parental love that a child has...I’ve no doubt in my thoughts at all that as strong as the need to escape..Gypsy would have completely loved her mother also...when she described her screams, she was in complete detachment and relating in a very ‘gentle’ way...as if this was also helping DeeDee find peace...
