Gypsy-Rose Blanchardis reflecting on what might have been.

“I mean, for me, it is heartbreaking because I do, from time to time, think about what could have been, and it makes me sad,” Blanchard said.

“So, I kind of put that in the back of my mind. And so, I mean, there has been questions on social media. Everybody asked the question, you know, ‘What are you gonna tell your daughter whenever grandma isn’t around?’ My response to them is that Kristy has become more of a mother to me than my own mother was,” Gypsy insisted, referencingher stepmotherKristy Blanchard.

“Kristy is going to be grandma,” Blanchard added.

The expectant mom wasreleased from prison in December 2023after serving eight years of her 10-year jail sentence for conspiring to murder her mother with her then-boyfriend,Nicholas “Nick” Godejohn.

After divorcing Dee Dee, Blanchard’s dad Rod Blanchard married Kristy, with whom he shares two children.

She told the podcast, “The one thing that just irritates me is the fact that people really have this stigma on, you know, new parents that have come from a life of trauma and the stigma of, oh, you know, ‘You had been through this, so you’re gonna continue on that cycle with your child.’ "

“I think that’s so unfair to put that on someone because I’m a person that I’m taking the steps to make sure that I’m mentally stable enough to be a parent and heal myself,” she continued. “And so going forward, you know, I might not be a perfect parent, nobody is. But I am gonna do the best I can and make educated choices with my child and have the support to do so.”

Gypsyannounced she was pregnantthe month prior, and laterspoke to PEOPLEabout the moment she found out she was pregnant.

“I was very surprised,” she said at the time.
