As for the end of the Reunion, when Caroline said such horrible things to me, I had no idea at the time what "disgraceful" acts she was referring to. I only found out later what she was talking about, from someone in her own family. I simply gave a phone number to her ex brother-in-law to contact proper people with questions that he had concerning something that was absolutely none of my business. I was asked to give this information to him. If I had to do it again, I would have declined and preferred not to get involved. But I think my minimal involvement did not justify Caroline's behavior towards me. How dare they still sit in judgment of ME? There is only one God, and I don't see God in their eyes. I can only hope God is in their hearts.

Thank you to all of those who have given me their continuous support and love. With all of my heart, I am grateful for this experience.

Love and light,
Danielle

Out of all the New Jersey ladies my heart goes out to Danielle. She is definitely the most honest, down to heart, truthful one amongst them all. I think the other NJ's are jealous of who she is - she have come through horrific times in her life and became a much stronger person. Walk tall and look the world straight in the eye.

On your side

Hi Danielle these people from the show I truly hope are not your friends. I hope with your new fame that actually find REAL TRUE Friends. If you ever find the time .....like to say that there is help out there for you about your past.
Attend one of the Choices Seminars in Texas this is not a place for cameras this would be a place for you to grow inside it has made a great change in my life and I am sure many others.

Danielle,
I watched your show from London but originally I'm from Paris.
I'm a young 24 year old bloke and these men that you seem to choose are jokers, if I had the chance to be with a real lady like yourself I'd treat you like a real princess, look after your children and just simply give you the real love you deserve. As for sticking up for yourself against those other families, fair play to you, in my eyes your a real woman.
Take care and all the best.

Danielle,
I'm watching the show from England and I just wanted to say that I think you're fabulous! You're smart, strong, aware of your faults, fair minded, and, above all, wonderfully honest. I admire the way you've handled yourself through all the difficult situations during the filming with such integrity. I would be happy to have you as a friend. (Jacqueline - take note!) Your two daughters are delightful, charming, and not at all spoiled, and are great proof of the good example you're setting them. I wish you and your daughters a very happy future.

Danniele, I have one advice for you, and it has always worked for me AND THAT IS: no matter what you have done in the past, or present or future, your life is your life, your decisions are your decisions, the only people you have to answer for re your girls and your close friends, your really close friends who are there for you no matter what. I was really angry when I saw the reunion and I think if it was me in your position, I would forget about those women and get friendships somewhere else, because you have no chance there. Just move on, and dear your life is your life remember, its nobody else's business!Happiness is the best revenge!Be happy please!

Danielle,

Look, plain and simple. Sometimes, we get caught up in some really terrible crap. Take it from this former government worker. Things happen in life and the really unfortunate thing is that, some still go by that really stupid B.S. statement of "Where There's Smoke, There's Fire."

I'm of the mind that kicking the crap out of them won't work, and they stand pretty strong when confronted with fact and evidence. That's just the way some people are. Your friends are right...what they think vs. what you know...well, there's a world of difference there, isn't there?

Be you without apologies and those that really love you will defend you to the death if necessary and, for those who don't like it, as D-Generation X states, we've got two words for 'em...

Hi Danielle,

I just wanted to drop you a line and say that you are my favorite :). We all have made mistakes in our past and if we can admit to ourselves we screwed up and learn from them, then we are better for that. You don't owe anyone a explanation for your past and if they are true friends then the past shouldn't matter to them. It's who you are today and what you stand for that should be important.

You are a strong woman and I admire that so much. You know who you are and don't ever change!

Wishing you and your family the very best!

I cannot believe how strong you are. I look up to you as a role model. I was the odd one out for many years and it hurt me really bad. But when i see you on the show, i realize i'm not the only one in the world that went through having no one to stand by you but your family.Your kids turned out great, you turned out great too after all that's happened to you, and you are living a great wealthy life. I guess God saw you down here struggling and decided to give you a break. You are my favorite New Jersey housewife! Good luck to you!

I really admire you. You are a very strong woman with loads of class. Even when you were ganged up on. I applaud you for how you have turned your life around. None of the other women on the show could have come from where you have and remained standing at all. I am glad that you have defended yourself. I feel as though you were the only one who allowed herself to be vulnerable. I wonder how many little secrets the other ladies have lurking in their closets. We all have them. Hats off to you my dear. You are a true success story you are brave and you have class and have raised two precious daughters. I pray that God will send you a good man who will appreciate you and love you for who you are. God Bless You.

Danielle: I commend you for your strength in standing up for yourself in the face of some pretty strong opposition, especially from such a united family. I hope your girls absorb some of your strength; they're going to need it given the very public aspects of their lives. I'm not sure I would share quite as many details of your past as you seem to have shared, but they are your children, you know them best, and I'm certainly not judging you. I am also a survivor of childhood abuse (physical, sexual, psychological and emotional) and I know the lasting damage it causes. My heart goes out to you because while you must take responsibility for your actions and choices, and the abuse in your past does not negate that responsibility, it DOES explain a lot of the motivation behind those actions and choices. At least I found that to be true for me, after much soul searching and therapy. I was impressed that you had the grace and guts, during the reunion show, to apologize to the other housewives for your actions during the season - that showed a lot of class. I also understand your wish to be on friendly terms with Jacqueline - and I hope for both of your sakes that comes to pass. I think you could both benefit from a friendship between the two of you. My biggest caution to you would be to watch your back. I know it makes for great ratings to have cat fights, etc. - but think of the possible damage it could do to your children, and to you as well. As Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true." Be true to yourself, to your girls and the rest will fall into place. Be at peace.

Hey Dani, if you are out there then please stay as strong as you are. The other women on the show are so katty and so dramatic it's very entertaining. Being that you are hands down the sexiest women on the show with the classiest demeanor, I can see why they wish to attack you. Be strong, stay sexy, live your life for you and F--- all others.

My Dearest Daughter, Friend, and Love,

Behold, I will allure you, will bring you into the wilderness and speak comfort to you. I will give you vineyards from there and a door of hope. You will sing there, as in the days of your youth…And it shall be in that day that you will call Me ‘My Husband’… I will betroth you to Me forever, yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord… I will have mercy on you who had not obtained mercy, then I will say to you ‘You are mine’ and you will say ‘You are my God’.

Loving you,
God, Father, Jesus, Friend, and the Lover of your Soul

God’s own words, specially for you, from Hosea 2:14-23

Laura from the UK

Hi Danielle,

I'm not even sure if you're on this blog anymore ... ?

The episode before the "house-warming-party-in-a-restaurant" was aired last night, in the UK. I've spent an hour or so this morning googling the next episode, as I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it, because I saw a glimps of your daughter watching the whole sorry mess. I still don't know if I can watch it .... however, I wanted to drop you a line.

Whatever has happened in your past is in your past. You know that, we know that. It's just such a shame that the other house wives don't know that.

Reading, today, that the sisters are married to mob connections has shocked me ... "pot, kettle, black" and all that!

I felt for you - even when Steven wanted to take another woman to somewhere - you were still blamed for that. Inconceivable!! And ridiculous.

And you never had a chance with Jaqueline. Shame about that - she could have been a good friend - but the poison had to drip in sometime. You're better off without her, purely because of her family connections.

So - the point is, I like you. You are what you see. In your own words, we'll either love you or hate you - there's no in-between. I think you have shown more class than the others. But I really, really wish you would keep a more dignified silence sometimes. You will always be the winner, if you learn how to bite your tongue. Don't stoop to their level, if you can help it. Dina (is that her name?) always looked dignified and classy - even though it was patently obvious she's a devious liar.

I respect you, and the way you are bringing up your girls (although, I wish you'd not quite tell them everything!!) - but you need to give others a chance to respect you too.

And as for men ... we all want to find the right one (I believe I have, thank God), but a true gentlemen will appreciate modesty more than exposure. Less is more. You deserve to find a real man who'll treat you with respect. I wish you tons of luck in finding him.

So, I hope you don't mind me airing my thoughts like that.

Good luck to you Danielle.

Laura

hi danielle - i just finished the reunion shows and i appreciate your new calm demeanor. aside from jacqueline who always seemed have the right dose of selflessness, i see that you have really learned from the first season to not get so self-involved. unfortunately, caroline and dina seem to be even more self-centered than before and well, that is a big turnoff for the show. i also appreciate your openness: we always know what to expect from you because you are fairly open and honest with your feelings. best of luck to you and your family.
thanks!

Danielle,

You are by far a much better lady than the rest. Caroline is a hater and she's sneaky. Like a snake. the other little girls only follow her lead.

Please go on with your life and do great things. My Mother always told me: "What goes around...comes around." I feel sorry for the things coming their way.

Everyone has a past. What blows my mind is the fact they they are in such a hurry to expose you, when in reality, we've all done things we regret. I bet there's a lot of stuff they've done, but ofcourse, they don't want anyone to know about that!

What's important here is not your past, but what you are now doing.

Tell them rich uppidy girls, to get a life!

We all make mistakes, we all wish there are things in our lives we could have done differently. But if we didnt grow with those two components then we wouldnt learn or be real about who we really are. I commend you for speaking up. You are a survivor like the rest of us who know life after mistakes and are able to grow from them. I pity the pathetic women who have to knock you down a peg to make themselves seem so much grander and perfect. Keep being yourself and dont let anyone tell you that you a are wrong for living life despite the struggles.

Danielle,

Congratulations on turning your life around. As I blogged to "the sisters", people make mistakes and turn their lives around everyday. I believe they were just looking for something/anything. I am very sorry to hear that you and Jacqueline are no longer friends, and I was very happy when she finally stood up to her family. But you need to realize, that she had to cave into that family pressure to not speak to you anymore, or they would have made life very difficult on her. Sometimes you have to do what's best for "the family". I am a Jersey Girl and proud of it, but, I was more than a little embarrassed when I saw how they were behaving on the show. - Good Luck!

I hope you read this and any other people that really care about peoples feelings and the harm they can occur do to gossip. Gossip kills relationships, marraiges
friendships, and etc., but its the best tantillizating feeling of "wow" your going to get in the moment, and to make it "more" better, something is added that is more tantillizating every time it's repeated.
Everyone has a past, be it good, bad or indifferent,,,and who cares!!! The girls inautenticity came through like gang busters...Caroline wants to portray an honest person, but she sabotoged Danielle by not stepping up to the plate and only did so to take the blame for her sister like its okay for Caroline to do something slimy but not the sister..no sense in that, and no one has addresed that point of the issue.
The two problems I have with the show is that these people are representing my state..and this is not how house wives of New Jersey live...maybe a small majority who are fortunate to have incomes that can afford their lifestyle ..but thats not the reality..who lives in a house like that..the shows should be called "The Wealthy Housewives" of each state. Look, we have our problems, but come on..Danielle your the only authentic one on the show. The camera tells the truth, even your friend is gone..sucked into the caroline maze..just for the record I don't like or dislike these women.
The LA girls are cool, the NY woman rock, and the atlanta Babes are sooo real, NJ people just don't represent New Jersey, and I'm kinda embarrassed..contact me I'll show ya a real N.J. houswife..and her kick ass daughter and her daughter and her cousin...Why??? cause "Me and my family are as thick as theives!!! lol,lol,lol

Danielle,
I say leave the past in the past.
we have all done things that we regret.
I I thought if there was a book written about you, why not come to YOU first before spreading it around.
It was about you and should have been brought to your attention.
I'm thinking you were in your early 20's when those things happen. still very young, still a lot to learn and it seems to me that you have.
I think that you were judged unfairly.
And I don;t think that ultimatums should have been proposed to Jacqueline to chose her family or you.
Aren't we all just a little too old for that?

I have a question for you.
You mentioned that you were in "Third Watch".
I loved that show, and never missed an Episode.
Who did you play in Third Watch and do you remember the name of the episode.

Best of luck to you and be true to who you are.

I am not GOD and I'm not here to judge you. What you did in your past is the past. I think you need to spend some quality time with yourself, your kids, GOD, and the bible. You should pray for yourself, your family, your friends, and even your enemies. I wish you the best in life and I will be praying for you.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

You seem a very angry, sad woman. Perhaps counseling would help. Your children also seem dismayed by what you say and do especially your oldest daughter. My heart broke for her when she said men want you for your "goodies" it said it all. At the dinner they were clearly upset. That is no way to teach a child about life...any arena...blah blah blah! If I were you I would watch all the episodes of the show and see how you sound and look. Not pretty, I'm afraid! I am sure you will dismiss all negative comments you receive and make nasty ones about them yourself. I am far from perfect but you asked for the truth when you put yourself and children on display on national tv. I think the other ladies seem nice, normal and genuine. I know a disfunctional childhood led you here but maybe its time to grow up and live your life for today and not in the past. As the past is written all over you. I hope you find God as it is aparent you have not.

Danielle,

Caroline said at the beginning of the show that she and her family had a right to check into the past of anyone that was coming into their "circle",
that they were going to" investigate". Strange that when the shoe was on
the other foot, ie: you gave a phone number to Dina's ex inorder for him
to "investigate" alledged improprieties, she acted as if you had committed
an unforgiveable sin. I guess she never heard that," what goes around comes
around"!
They are an enmeshed family with a definate pecking order: Carolina is the
"Godmother", Jackie the "yeswoman", Dina the "womanchild" and Theresa the
"court jester", anyone else is suspect and therefore must have to go through
some sort of strange Italian initiation ritual, the rules of which are known
only to "The Family".
Danielle, don't try so hard! The ultimate goal(a position in the inter sanctum) is not worth the effort. From the footage shown on Dina's wedding,
her only taste is in her mouth! Keep the Faith!

Laura

Danielle,
I am so sorry that you were so incredibly defeated in front of the entire nation. I am a very sensitive person myself and I can understand how you must be feeling. I too have had things go on in my PAST that I am not proud of, and I have found that most generally Other people have a harder time dealing with it, even after I have worked through most of all the trauma it caused me initally. So try not to let them traumatize or victimize you yet again by giving in to their inability to deal with the fact that there is something about you that makes them feel inferior and therefore they through bad upbringing or by trial and error, with positive reinforcements, have learned to deal with that inferior feeling by acting in an immature and negative way. I am sure they would tell their own children not to respond the way they did and if they did, then God help them, because they are only spreading ugliness. Either way it is their problem, and not yours. Not everyone you meet is going to like you, not everyone that you work with or have to deal with on a daily basis will like you nor will you care for them, BUT, you can carry yourself with grace and never lower yourself to their level. You say you will never back down, well sometimes that is the Right thing to do. Just walk away with a smile, knowing you are right, is not only the better way, it will eat the other person up inside. The power of kindness is incredible.
God Bless, to you and your Beautiful girls

Danielle, you made this show a hit!!! I loved it. Earlier today I was able to catch the reunion shows...Awesome!!

Danielle, just move on and if they come back into your life and want to make amends then let them, but do not ever put yourself in a position again that you feel like you HAVE to explain yourself. What matters now is that you are a law abiding citizen and good mother. I understand that you have been hurting since you were a child but as you can see people dont care. For some reason people show little remorse when a person has a history of dramatic and traumatic events. You didnt have to tell them all that about you...People dont have the right to know everything about you just because you are on TV...I hope that you come back for another season and keep the drama going because you are good for it and if it wasnt for your drama the other ladies would be out of a job....Caroline and her puppets need to show you great appreciation!!!

Could have fooled me. My husband and I were convinced that you had made a pass at Caroline's husband after we viewed that show. I can't believe that Caroline would have gotten so worked up about Dina's ex. But, I guess that's your story and Jersey girls have baaalls.

Hi Danielle,
I think that family is disgusting for ganging up on you! They acted like children! I'm so glad you stayed so strong and stuck up for yourself so hard! PLEASE stop talking about them and find some new friends! They don't deserve for you to waste one more minute of your time or voice!

Danielle told us at the beginning of the shoe we would either love her or hate her. Well, I don't hate her. As a educated professional woman working in the conservative city of DC, I find Daniell's story different that my own life, but interesting to see how someone would go through all she has, and where would they end up? I know that is not always the intent, but she's led an interesting life and that tends to fascinate people. Kind of like a car wreck. But, Danielle walked away from the wreckage and look waht she has accomplished. She has beautiful daughters and she has obviously done something right. I think being the odd man out of a family and family friend would have skewed things from the get go.... to bad. I hope Danielle comes back next season and brings some friends of her own so she doesn't have to run after those other three "sisters" and the dizzy friend. I say let your star shine bright Danielle!!! You deserve it. I'm so sorry to hear about your childhood and I'm proud of all you have accomplised in spite of it. Not because of it, but in spite of it. And the hell with all those bitches who have the nerve to gossip about you after they have heard of your traumatic childhood. I don't care if parts of the book are true, you took a plea, paid the price, now lets move on! And lets remember often victims of the abuses Danielle suffered end up on the streets, in jail or dead. So give the woman and hand and a hand up instead of trying to bring her down. Kimberly

Many publishers print books full of lies. Two recent examples include the guy on Oprah who wrote what he claimed was his autobiography but was later proved to be a bunch of lies and then there is the book by the couple who claim to have met in a WWII concentration camp - also all lies. Just because it printed, sweetie, doesn't make it true. Stop being so naive. A quick bit of research before you made your baseless comments would have answered your question and saved you the embarassment of making such a puerile statement.

Hi Daniella,
I have to say, if what you say is true, how come you have absoloutly no examples to back it up with? Sure, we have already heard all of your excuses and your completely titled to your own opinion, but we want to hear it from someone else besides you. I don't mean to be rude or hurtful but I do intend to make sure that this comment is honest. I also wanted to let you know your doing a great job with your kids and giving great examples to them. Good job! Really! Well that's all I have to say and I would appreciate if you would comment me back

my question is that i want to know what book publisher would print a book that was full of "lies"? that informaton must be true or they wouldn't print it for fear of lawsuits. which also begs the question to danielle... if the book is all lies then why wouldn't you sue the author or publishers for libel????

Danielle, I don't know if you read these blogs, but I wanted to say that I really connected with the drama between you and the other women. I reccently took a semester off college because all my friends turned on me because of my failure to disclose that I was suffering from clinical depression. Even if you are the devil in carnate, no one who is friends/accquaitences of you has the right to judge you like that. That's wrong, it's immature and disstressful to see in grown women. Even if you are a nice person, girl group dynamics make it okay for generally good people to do awful things.
I don't care what you have/have not done 20 yrs ago and neither should anyone that isn't in high school anymore. You're better off not being in a social group where someone has to always be, "the problem" or "the guilty one". You shouldn't have to defend yourself/ explain your most intimate and emotional moments to women you've only known a year. I hope you continue your life with a free and clear mind and keep those who truly care about you(not necessarily always agree with your actions). Take care

DANIELLE! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an inspiration showing that anyone that makes a mistake in our life (and we all have/will) can move on and create a great life. The other housewives' insecurity shows that the mistakes they have made are probably pretty big. Anyways I also have sympathy for you because you are often attacked, and on this show alone, showing you have great strength and will fight against anything you know is not right. When hearing about your life as a youth, who could blame you for falling into bad things, it happens to almost everyone in abusive situations. Yet you pulled yourself out (showing your strength yet again) and moved on to become a great mom. Unfortunately you have find it hard to escape the past but I hope you and your family find peace.
LOVE YOU!
Chris

Hi Danielle,

I hate the fact that everyone seems to pick on you, I think You are remarkable woman, great mom, and a good person. But I also see that you let your emotions get the best of you, I didn't want to believe that you were obssessed with Dina, but you were, or at least it seamed that way. Im not hear to bash you, I just want to tell you that you whould really stay out of that families hair, they will never be your friends, they will never like you. Just be free of all that does not apply to you. Again, I think you are wonderful. just leave that family be, I think that they would like you more if you let them be.

Why the hell would you go on a reality show when you know that you had that in your past?
Thats like striking gold for reality show producers. Doesnt matter when you did it...you did it and thats all that matters to someone who wants to make a good show.

my only thing is this they claim to have so much dirt on you backed up by proof but no one's talking. here's what i think even if they do have dirtwhich i don't think they do because they have never bypassed a moment to try and stick it to you. but in the slom chance they do have something you must have something even sweeter on them. oh yeah tell the produces for season 2 if there is one to leave that air head theresa at home

Hi Danielle. I think you are really beautiful and really strong. I think you are a role model to people who have struggled with horrible things in the past. You moved on and you are a strong, amazing woman from what I have seen. Don't give up keep doing what you are doing. Your daughters are very lucky to have a mother like you. Best of luck and I can't wait to read your book!

Danielle, I think you were the most real on the show. We have all made mistakes and what you did in your past was no ones business. You cannot tell me all of their hands are clean? Quite frankly the odds were against you because you were already the odd man out. It was you against a WHOLE family and you were already the outsider! You don't need those thugs and you can do bad all by yourself. Stop acting like you need their forgiveness or approval because you don't. Who are they? Dina is spineless, Jacqueline does not have a backbone and Caroline is a thug. Cmon!

By the way, I loved your jewelry on the late night Bravo Show. Can you tell me where you got the earrings from?

Um yeah, so Danielle says that the "incident" that Caroline was referring to was the fact that Danielle gave Dina's ex-husband the contact information on Dina. Really? Are you high? Did we not see Dina's ex-husband pick up Lexi for their trip to Greece? Nevermind, I must have made that whole scene up in my mind.

you bore me with ur excuses. quit hiding behind what u have done in ur past and acting as if ur the victim. its now time to just say yes it happened and now u are moving on with ur life. but ur still trying to find ways to say that it is all lies. there has to be some truth to it all. ur too old to be the victim and too old to be acting as if ur a naive 20 year old who doesnt know better.

Throughout the end of the show Danielle asks repeatedly why no one asked her about the book instead of assuming Danielle had committed the acts described within it. I think that the girls didn't like her already, and the book was just the straw that broke the camel's back. She expects them to confront her as friends, but they don't like her enough to.

Hey Danielle I really think people get so clicky and familys are thick my family is Italian and they are the same way. But until someone has walked a mile in your shoes they should not throw stones events in peoples lives make people do certain things that they normally wouldnt many dont understand it and the pain and the bitterness makes you angry towards everyone because of the pain but we all mature and grow and I think the rest of your beautiful life has started and you will just be you and move on and grow I wish you the best and thanks for being real I hope things get better for you and you find true love and happiness.....

As a woman, college student, sister and friend I respect how you stood up for yourself. Nobody thought about the aftermath of their actions and you considered your children in everything you did. Caroline from the outside looks like she would have had the most sense in the group but after watching her antics I see now that she is NOT a good example for anyone. You do what you need to do in love, peace and grace. Although your enemies wish to see your demise, God will soon allow you to prosper and them to bear the consequences of their own actions.

I am an avid "Real Housewives Of..."Fan. I watch them all...and of all the shows you are my favorite person....what a delight...your honesty...and humbleness to your past...and your continued positive attitude.
Having been in the same type of situation I have empathy for you and I admire you very much.
I hope you get everything you deserve in life...the show brings out the real person in all of you i believe...and you are real. Very beautiful on the outside...and on the inside also.
Continued success and blessings,

Dear Danielle,

Hello. My name is Chrissie from NJ. After watching the show, the Reunion show and reading all of your blogs yesterday, I have to say that you are a very strong and well spoken woman. I enjoyed reading your blogs because of your passion and compassion for your children and your friends. I felt every word that you wrote. I admire you for your courage to face whatever lies ahead of you!!

I friend requested you on Facebook, but I’m not sure if I got the correct Danielle Staub as there were a few to choose from. I sincerely hope that I did because I am a fan!! I would like to get your perspective on an issue I’m currently facing in my life. I don’t feel comfortable writing to you on this comment board so I hope that I found the correct Danielle Staub on FB and that you feel comfortable with accepting my friend request.

For now, I will say that I admire you for living life to its fullest despite the past. If I may I’d like to leave you with a verse that is dear to my heart. “Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you” – 1 Peter 5:7.

Peace,
Chrissie C.

My mom lets me watch this show with my friends, and we love it! But there is something about you that reminds me of the mean girl at school. (sorry!!!) It's just that you always have something bad to say about Dina, and just because she's well-liked doesn't mean she isn't hurt by the things you say.

MISTAKESTHATFOLLOW

Danielle you already know this I am sure, but I will say again..there are some people in this world that will hold anything they can against you because they just don't want to like you no matter what...I have a daughter in law who I have tried to do everything to please..I have cooked for her, cleaned for her, babysat, given gifts, and many more things..but to this day she lives to dislike me and has even turned my son's feelings the same way. She knows that I have had a rough few years, but has convinced my son that I am a negative person and not worthy of being around. My son just told me today he didn't want to be around me. This means of course, I will not see my grandchildren who I live for. Some people will just never like you no matter what, so you can see from my example that it can get even worse than just having a few "outside friends" disliking you doesn't even compare to a son who has allowed a wife of his to control and change even his thinking of a woman who gave her all as a mother...I guess that is what has convinced me that even when people spread rumors, most likely it is their own insecure reasons for it...so hang in there Danielle. Life gets rough sometimes, but we have to keep on and do the best we can. You are very lucky to have your children. God bless

Well said to poster Crystal. Your comments actually brought a tear to my eye about putting space between past mistakes and now. You are so right that we must be more compassionate. If people want to dislike Danielle, base it on her actions NOW not on some claims made by an enemy (no hatred runs deeper than an ex-spouse). Please realize that the Manzos forced Danielle into a defensive postion from day one so we didn't get to see the real person. We ALL act differently in such a position and because of her background, Danielle came out swinging. I hope all of America will try to show kindness to people in their communities and not hold their feet to their fire for very old mistakes. Although I have had an easy ride, the immense sadness I have seen in some lives as a result of cruelty has made me a person who, if I can't be kind, I will at least not be mean. Please try it - you might ease a burden you didn't know someone had.
