I’ll never stop believing that Dee Dee was kicking Gypsy’s ass out. That’s why Dee Dee’s search history showed shelters. That’s why she visited places for placement. And that’s why Nick and Gypsy told his parents that Gypsy was kicked out and living in a shelter. It was about to happen.
Hence the..
“It was her or me”.
This was the closest thing to “abuse” that Gypsy ever felt from Dee Dee.
