This is so well written and speaks so much to your character as a daughter, woman, and your inner strength. I have followed you and your mother since the early days of housewives and hope to some day be half the woman and mother Dina is. ❤️

Dear Lexi, thank you for summoning your thoughts into this essay. You and your mother are so brave. I’m sorry for what you’ve endured. On the show I was endeared to your sweet teenage self, stuffed animals and all, and I was honestly relieved once you were no longer on camera so that you could live your authentic life heading to college. You just seemed better than being reduced to a character on tv. You’ve clearly grown into a smart and successful woman and you have a gift for writing. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story. It takes a strong woman to raise a strong woman ❤️
