Before we move on to tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Dolores Catania has a few thoughts to share on last week’s episode.
The newbie shared that watching the episode was a hard reminder of losing her beloved Boo. “Losing Boo was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. He really was my best friend. Even though he couldn’t talk to me, I know without a doubt that he “got” me. Through thick and thin, Boo was by my side and always brought me such comfort. He was my protector and according to my girlfriends, the only “man” I ever trusted. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss Boo terribly, but I know that he’s always with me in spirit.”
She says it was time to let go of the old Dolores and move forward with her life. “I also took a big step in letting go of the “old” Dolores. This isn’t something that I’ve been able to do overnight, of course. It’s a process that I need to go through a little bit at a time. It’s been exciting to finally focus on me becoming more independent.”
On her interesting relationship with ex-husband Frank, “Every relationship has its own way of working; what works for some doesn’t always work for everyone else. Before and after our divorce, Frank and I both believed that our children’s happiness comes first. We both firmly felt that it was best for our family that I was around for the kids 24/7, and we were both willing to make sacrifices to make that happen. You see, we may be divorced, but we are still a FAMILY. We will always be tied together, and I’m so proud of where we all are.”

She says she absolutely trusts Frank with the family finances. “Even though we live in two separate homes, I have always trusted Frank whole-heartedly to handle our family’s finances. Now that Frankie has his license and we will soon have two college students leaving the nest, the timing was perfect for me to get back to working outside of the house. My new gym is thriving, and it’s so gratifying for me to have a career doing something I LOVE! My ex-husband and I are truly best friends, my children are well adjusted and HAPPY, I’m happy – LIFE IS GOOD!”
