As she prepares to leave prison, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has admitted she regrets the murder of her mother.
Gypsy, 32, was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to the killing of her mom Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
For years, Dee Dee had created the appearance that Gypsy was a terminally ill child, making her use a wheelchair, shaving her head, and forcing her to take medication she didn't need.

Things came to a head when Gypsy met Nicholas 'Nick' Godejohn online. A plan was carried out and Dee Dee was murdered by Godejohn in 2015.
While she was sentenced to ten years behind bars seven years ago, Gypsy is scheduled to be released on Thursday (28 December).
Since officials announced Gypsy's imminent departure from prison, she has spoken about her plans going forward.

In fact, Blanchard recently said how she wants to meet Taylor Swift upon her release from prison on Thursday.
Now, she has opened up in an interview with People on the regret and the remorse she feels towards her mother.
She said: "If I had another chance to redo everything, I don't know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I'm not sick and mommy makes me sick.
"Or If I would travel back to just the point of that conversation with Nick and tell him, 'You know what, I'm going to go tell the police everything.' I kind of struggle with that.

"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," she added.
As Blanchard progressed into her teenage and adult years, her relationship with her mother began to turn violent.
"I tried my best to be respectful but sometimes it was hard. She'd call me things like b***h, wh**e, sl*t," Blanchard told People.
"It was very similar to a domestic violence type of relationship. As long as you're complacent everything's fine. Put your foot down, then it's bad."
Her decision to kill Dee Dee came shortly after she planned to run away ahead of a needless procedure on her larynx.

"I just wasn't having it. [But] she found me, brought me back and put in place paperwork saying I was incompetent and she had power of attorney over me.
"I was trying really hard to figure out another way. That's when there was a conversation between me and my co-defendant Nick.
"He said 'I would do anything to protect you.' I said, 'Anything?' He said 'Yes.'"
