Danielle's past exposed some more!

[Sylviastel · 27 June 2009]

As if nobody needed to tell me that Danielle had an abusive childhood where she was raped at 8 years old. Her own mother was only 15 and she had spent her years in foster care as well. Danielle's early history explains so much about her personality, sexuality, and psychology now. I hope that she attends therapy regularly. Of course, it doesn't excuse some of her actions which might be at Dina's expense but she's no angel neither. In this episode, Danielle is crucified by Caroline for something against Dina but they are vague. They suggest it has to do with Lexi's custody because Danielle gave a phone number. Personally, Lexi should spend more time with her father. I don't think he wants full custody but maybe partial or more visitation. Also, the Manzos have this history that will follow them around. I think it's cruel to blame Danielle as the scapegoat for sibling issues. Danielle was only there a short time. Sibling issues take years and not all siblings will get along in a big family like the Lauritas.
