Anna Nicole Smith

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with some of what you wrote about Anna's mother. In a very candid interview, Anna made it very clear that she did not want her mother to be anywhere near Dannielynn because of abuses Anna suffered at her mother's hand. It's very hard to be forgiving when the person who abused you refuses to acknowledge the abuse inflicted. Having said that, I would be hard pressed to find much sympathy for Anna's mother or allow her joint custody of this child. I think Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead probably know more about the abuse than the general public and will ensure this child comes to no harm. It's also hard to know with any degree of certainty that Anna would have forgiven her mother, even as much as we'd like to think the human condition would allow for it in times of crisis. It's hard for a parent, any parent, to survive his/her child. I acknowledge that Anna's mother is probably feeling loss and sadness and a multitude of other emotions. But, if she had really wanted to do the right thing, she would have not bothered to fight about gaining custody of her daughter's body and allowed her daughter's body to be at rest and peace. This whole court fiasco was more about Anna's mother than it was about Anna. I don't know what she hoped to gain, other than a little bit of fame and maybe a buck or two. For that, I cannot find it in my heart to feel any sympathy. As for who is Dannielynn's father, it doesn't matter to me, because the truth will come to light eventually. I just hope for this child's sake, it is sooner rather than later.
