It's all too easy to say, 'You didn't have a dad, therefore, you married an older man.' Listen, I didn't marry my dad. My dad is much younger than my husband.
There was this moment in my father's house where he said, 'My wife, she never had any kids and I never had any kids.' Yeah... He had never acknowledged my existence.
There is a certain amount of conflict that comes with being a 'Housewife.' It is not a comfortable position. If you are comfortable, you aren't doing your job.
If you want to look good it's hair, it's makeup, it's wardrobe, and then those people that help facilitate that. They're not cheap.
It's great to have financial support. But having someone's emotional support is something that I wish I had more of growing up.
The television in my bedroom is always on, so after I get out of the bath and put on my jammies, I sit in bed, curled up in my comforter with Tom, and we watch the news together until we fall asleep.
I had everything that you want. Every material object. Everything. But inside my core I still wasn't satisfied.
The first time I met my father was when I was 25. I was visiting here in Los Angeles, I had not moved here yet. And he came down to meet me. It wasn't emotional, it was like meeting a stranger.
Who knows what happens with 'Housewives?' I will say this, what a great opportunity to have been on the show, and the doors that it's opened for me, and I have nothing but great things to say about the show.
