When One Door Closes

Hello again, and for those who celebrated today, Happy Pride!

They say when one door closes, another one opens; I think that’s the best way to define tonight’s episode. The tides have certainly changed, and I believe the dynamic of the show will change as well, do you agree?

I felt bad for Jacqueline, but at the same time I was happy for the Gorgas and Wakiles. I meant what I said when I told Kathy and Joe that removing myself from the situation could only help in their healing process with the Giudices. There’s no denying that now as I watch from week to week that my instinct was correct. We’ll see where it goes from here.

I’ve said it a million times, we fight big and we love big, but in the end there’s always forgiveness. I’m happy to see that Joe and Teresa are going to therapy. I don’t know what the outcome was, so I guess I’ll find out when you guys do. I was also happy to see Kathy and Melissa respond in a positive way to T’s request; all you can do is try, right? Baby steps.

One thing I want to address is the Jacqueline/Caroline punch in the face comment. As you all know, we’ve discussed this before and neither Jac or I have tried to hide it. What bothers me is the fact that it was brought up again, so many years later. This happened over ten years ago, shortly after Jac gave birth to CJ. She was suffering from post partum depression and going through a really tough time. I’m insulted and disappointed that T would use Jac’s suffering as a sticking point. There’s nothing funny about post partum depression, shame on her for that. The bottom line is we forgave and forgot, and we have a wonderful relationship. Yes, we have disagreements from time to time, but it never lasts long. We talk about it and move on, TOGETHER.

Congrats to Melissa on her success with On Display! Every time I watch her reach another goal, I remember how she spoke of her dad and the hopes and dreams he had for her. I can’t imagine how she feels at those moments, bittersweet for sure.

Well, that’s all I have for now, see you next week and as always thank you so much for watching!
