Vicki u r amazing! U deserve happiness! U should not allow ur daughter to talk to u that way, u r the parent no matter how old she is!!! She needs to understand she is an adult and she needs to let u live your life! If we lived our lives for our kids we would b lonely forever! U should put your foot down and don't allow her to disrespect u and Brooke's that way! Tamra is jealous of u and that u have a man who has more game and is more manly than her man! Her man seems too fruity to me... Lol... Keep doing what u r doing girl! U r great!

vICKI, I like you but make sure you dont put yourself in situations that will demean your character and integrity. Tamara is fake and I hope you realize that.....

Glad to read that you're happy! You deserve it!

Love you and you are in my thoughts!! Do what makes you happy and just so you know you made me a better person just watching you!!

I'm sorry

I was hoping you were going to say that you feel sad about the way you talked behind and giggled ill will towards Gretchen/Slade and Alexis/Jim. Guess your not looking for peace there.

Vicki- no one knows what goes behind closed doors only the people who were there... but even then there is always three sides to every story. His hers and the truth. life is short you have to live and love and laugh as much as you can!

I love you vicki! you & tamra are my favorite! :)

Vicki, Good luck with everything. You deserve happiness in your life. You are a good person. Take Care

Vicki, hold your head high. Sometimes things don't work- its neither ones fault. You deserve to be happy and live life to the fulliest. I can't wait til next season to see how things have changed- for the better! Give your daughter time, it is still raw. You have a great smile and wonderful energy-let it return with a "whoa whoa"

Vicki just want to let you know that I was very sad to see your marriage didn't work out. I think you to be the most honest, hardworking and independent housewife and I know you will be ok. Keep your chin up and stay strong.

Best of luck with things Vicki.

Vicki I am sad for you and wish you and Don could have worked things out

Vicki I felt sad for you. I wanted to be mad because sometimes u and Tamra can be harsh, but I felt compassion for you. I hope things are getting better ;)

Vicki,

No matter how long or how friendly a divorce is, money and property has to be protected. I'm sure Donn did not take offense when you had him served, and I'm sure if he had you served, you wouldn't have taken offense, either. It's just part of the divorce process, and people who have never been divorced have no idea what can happen.

This isn't to say that all spouses will empty bank accounts - but why chance it?

You are right: we as viewers will not know all the details, and honestly, we shouldn't. You have a right to privacy, even if you are on a reality show. There are certain things that should be off - limits.

I'm sorry that Brianna is having a hard time with your divorce, but that Michael is doing well. I'm sure in time, Brianna will come around.

The most important thing is, that YOU are happy.

I'm sure that part of the reason you worked long hours was because it filled a void in your relationship with Donn. Had things been good at home, I'm sure you would have been spending more time with him. Lots of people who enjoy their work tend to work longer when they are stressed, because it helps them.

With respect, for you, for Donn, and your family, I wish you all the best.

Vicki, You have been in my prayers this year! I could see how much you have been hurting throughout the season of Housewives. I wish you peace and happiness Vicki.

God Bless

Vicki, best of luck to you in your future (please find another show you are better than what the OC housewives has turned into). I hope that both you and Donn can find happiness, forgiveness, and acceptance. You seem to both be good people, just not good for each other.

Vicki.. I wish that reality tv was more real.. We get to see snips of your real life and those bits seem to portra everything one way or the other. I appluad you for trying to be as real as possible.. but for us viewers its either we see it one way or the other.. catch 22.. You ultimately are the only one that knows just how real it is.. I feel bad that you and Donn were not able to work things out but if the reality of it all is that you just couldnt so be it.. We viewers have no say in how your life plays out.. I can only hope that you both remain friends in the end.. I for one am glad that you along with all of the other ladies, including the other cities RHW's have given us a glimpse into other peoples lives.. we can all stand to learn something from every one of you! It amamazes me just how much I can relate to almost any one of you at all times.. Please dont let any of the negative get you down.. Your only human.. and your just amazing enough to let us all see that side... Best wishes for your future..

Vicki, I truly hope you find a spiritual partner and not just a husband or a mate. A marriage and a partnership is a beautiful thing to have, but the difference that having a spouse that shares your faith is so glorious. I felt so much for you when you described how you wanted a husband that would pray with you and share your faith. I can't imagine having a fifteen year long marriage without that connection. It is so important and the relationship that your partner and yourself will have once you establish a shared spiritual relationship is indescribable. I genuinely wish and pray this for you. Please don't settle for anything less than what you deserve.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 says Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

I am happy for you Vicki your love tank is full!! Woohoo!!:) keep your head up girl! You rock!:)

" You can't handle the truth ".....

I notice you did not address your situation with Brianna, which is completely your business, and therefore your right to keep private. Of all the drama on the reunion show tonight, that is the one thing that really struck me. I hope more than anything that you and she have moved into a much better place as THAT relationship is more important than any in the world!! Hard to be a parent of an "adult" child anyway and I am sure it is so hurtful to hear those things from her. Good luck with all that is new in your life!

Vicki, it is understandable that what you see on screen isn't always everything going on. Regardless of how some feel this is your fault, it's not. It takes two to make a relationship work and if two aren't committed to that, then it becomes one. You are such a strong women and I have enjoyed watching the show because of you. You are not the typical housewife portrayed on most of these shows and your uniqueness is inspiring by showing other women you can create your own wealth and don't have to marry for it. You could tell you weren't happy and I am looking forward to seeing you happy! Your daughter will come around, she too, may not have seen everything that was there either. I think we can learn from Tamara's experience that this will take time and a few bumps along the way. You, out of all the housewives, will come out even stronger!

Good for you Vicki !! Happiness won't grow on trees nor can any other person make you happy. You have to be the one to find peace love and happiness within yourself.. Good luck with your legal matters and God Bless.

I support you 1000%!!

Vicki you are a strong women and I just feel bad your marriage didn't work out. My advice to you is to just accept your part in the whole thing that way you can move forward and do better next time! You are a spunky lady with a lot of class!

Vicky, I have not always agreed with you, but I wish you and Donn peace as you move forward with your lives. I also hope that at some point down the line you can be friends or at least reach out to one another.

Also, I don't think Donn was blaming Tamra in any way for your divorce; I think he was wondering if Tamra's happiness after splitting from Simon had motivated your decision to file.

Praying for you and your family....

Good luck Vicki your new life! It's sad that we all getting old and looking forward to have a good retirement, but you chose to have an exciting life.

You are my fav. Love your book too!!! Money is not everything but.... sure does help....

I just love you, Vicki. You are one class act. I hope you find true love and happiness because you only have one life, and happily ever after is real! XOXO

My heart goes out to you and your family. My parents separated when I was nine and it was extremely hard - still is sometimes. I was sad to hear how angry Brianna is, but I was angry for a long time too. I have faith she will come back to you with open arms. She just needs time to heal. I continue to pray for you and your family and hope this summer brongs you lots of happiness and fun.

Deciding to go through with a divorce is gut wrenching. Doing it so publicly must be unbearable. No one should judge you since a bad marriage takes two just as a good one takes two. Everyone makes mistakes along the way. Good luck for future happiness.

Well said Vicki, I wish you the best. Enjoy your summer!

Vicki, I just want to say I am sorry for all that has happened in your marriage to Donn. I really thought when you guys renewed your vows that everything would be good. I really like Donn and there were times that you put your career in front of everything and most of the time from what we saw, he was alone. And who wants to be alone. I really hope everything works out for you, I know you will be fine. I have been divorced so I know it is not easy, at least you have some more financial security than I did. Good luck to you and your family and I hope you will be back for a Season 7, you girls keep me going because I am disabled and your show and all the other Housewife shows are a distraction for me. Thank you. God bless you.

Vick-- Stay strong it is tough to go thru. My mom was married for 25 years and my stepfather left her and it took her by total surprise. She was blindsided. But with the help of her family and friends she got thru it. It was also her 2nd marriage, like you. She is a strong and independt woman. I am so proud to be her daughter. I know with time you will get thru this. Best of luck to you. Stay strong, and take time for yourself I know you love to work but take Vicky time!!! Love, A Mom of 2 for Philly

Vicki, I just wanted to say that I am impressed at the humility and genuine sincerity that you have handled the break up with Donn. Divorce is never easy and no one can understand what goes on in a marriage unless they walk in your shoes. I wish you (and Donn) the best.

Hi Vicki! I just wanted to commend you and say that it takes great strength to be on a reality show and be so high up and then allow everyone to see you fall. It happens, life is real and not a show and thank you for showing that. I am actually in a very similar situation as you. As I saw you cry last night saying about the wedding ring and you want to know someone loves you, I cried too. My husband does the same exact work you are doing, same industry, same everything. We had dated for about 7 years and married less than 2. It was sad for me to file for divorce because I loved him so much and thought I knew everything about him and like you said , God hates marriage and so do I. We had everything you could think of, but the love and priority changed with the job. He was basically married to the job. I think it is something with that industry, I am not sure, but the trips would get longer, and the nights later. It is such a bad situation. I have only been gone for 6 months and some days I cannot get through thinking about what just happened. Anyway, I wish you the best and I enjoy watching you on RHOC. You are real and not fake and tell it like it is. You are a strong woman and I think you intimidate the younger, inexperienced girls. Keep your head up girl!

You showed a great deal of grace, dignity and restraint. You should start a show that puts out a more positive message to people. Remember back in the early nineties when Oprah had to finally say, "Stop. We're falling into the sewer with the other talk shows, so let's rise above." This is your time to rise above.

With two failed marriages to your credit, ill health and much unhappiness, I found it appalling last night on the Reunion show that you (along with Tamra) wagged your finger to Alexis and threatened her to "just wait" until she is married for 10, 15 years to see how controlling her husband is, and how it will negatively impact her marriage. It was arrogant and presumptuous of you to assume that Alexis' marriage is a mirror image of your own marriage's shortcomings, despite that fact that both you and Tamra think Jim Bellino reminds each of you of your former husbands. BIG DEAL. You are not the purveyor of good behavior, and your marriage problems are not a model indicator for anyone else's life. That was a slimy and nasty thing to say , and you should be ashamed of yourself. You are picking on a perfectly nice young woman who has a value set that does not match your own. Your lack of tolerance is narrow minded and prejudicial. Leave the Bellino's marriage alone.

This blog felt like one big insurance ad!

I hope Bravo will please post my comment.

Vicky -

Keep your head up! You are the only person that knows what is right for YOU. I met you in person at one of your book signings and I thought you were beautiful, funny, nice, gracious, and inspirational! I hope you find all the happiness you deserve!

Vicki- Even without all the cameras, there's always going to be the he-said/she-said... with the cameras, it's all magnified to the point of blowing up.... Stay strong, and keep with your faith that God has his hand on you.... Good luck! Lane Twitter: LanePineapple

Vicki, I have watched you become the person you are through the last four seasons. I see that you are finding peace, and I can share with you that sometimes peace of mind is the most important asset a person can achieve. The only thing I want to say about your decision to divorce is this; only you know what you have been through and only you can decide how to get where you need to be. I see love for Donn in your eyes and I see a love for you in his, sometimes people just don't know how to show it in a way that leaves both parites feeling fulfilled. Peace be with you Vicki, and always remember, you have never travelled too far to turn around a revisit places where you chose a path and choose another one.

I know all to well about divorce, however as I watch your situation play out on film I have got to say we the viewers can only see what is shown and you my dear seem to only care about one thing and that was working and going on trip with your co-workers. All the while your family sits and waits for you. I urge you to watch the " Fire proof" and actually do the book. I watched it but I didnt do it and I regret every sec I didn't.

Amen Vicki and GOOD LUCK!

Vicki, I just wanted to tell you that I admire the person you are on the show and your story really touched me as I am currently going through a break up of my own. At the end of the Girl Fight episode when you talked about wanting to be successful, happy and in love my stomach dropped. I realized that I deserve those same things and that I shouldn't be caught in a relationship where I am miserably unhappy and unable to follow my dreams. A year ago, if you told me I would be here I would have sworn you were lying. I totally get what you mean when you say that you dont understand how you got to that point and feeling like you did everything you could to be a good wife/girlfriend. You are such a wonderful, confident, beautiful person and I know you will find love again soon. I hope I do too! Best Wishes!

Vicki,

Glad that you are happy now. Divorce is very sad. It just doesn't involve you and Donn. Obviously, your son and daughter are upset as well.

Watching one of the last episodes I remember Brianna telling you in the bathroom that you don't need to jump into a relationship like you did with your last divorce. You aren't even divorced from Donn yet and you are moving on. This is a recipe for disaster. I wish you would take the time to know yourself and find out what you are doing wrong!!! Obviously, you are not as confident as you think you are. Hooking up with another person so soon is not a good sign especially with your track record.

I don't believe what you say anymore. Watching how you treated Donn during the show was terrible.
