Unforgiveness runs Rampant!

Last night I was watching the Joy Behar show on television and the guest for the evening was actress, Valerie Bertinelli. She is known primarily now as the spokesperson for a diet company but many of us remember her from her role as a teenager with .MacKenzie Phillips in a show whose name I can't think of. She was also in the movie magazines when she married Eddie Van Halen, a rock star.

Things have changed. She has lost weight, gotten a divorce and now is on the cover of People magazine for her great "bod" at 50. I started to flip through the channels but stayed with it as she was discussing her divorce. She said that they had come to a time when they were friendly, but she wouldn't go so far as to say that they were friends.

Behar questioned her further about how this was possible since, obviously according to the guest star's new book, there were fireworks between the two for many years following the divorce. Valerie answered, "You must love your children more than you hate your ex."

Funny thing, how someone can say something that hits you. I do love my children far more than I ever hated my ex. Perhaps this actress has gained far more through her years than she has lost over these years.
