Perhaps I should've kept my mouth shut. :\
But yes, each is entitled to their opinion. I was just pointing out the fact that no matter how bad the behaviour of a person is, I don't think it's in anyone's place to wish them negativity especially if they do realise and admit what they did wrong and has changed.

You still don't bother addressing the possible chaos that might be created should your "original" family be made aware of how your new daughter came to be, nor do you address the potential pain for all those same people involved. Why is that?
Also, all this new-found happiness you have is built on a foundation of lies and deceit. What happens if/when that foundation starts to crumble? Have you even CONSIDERED that??
Eve, and to anyone else affected, I'm sorry if my post has re-stirred any emotional negativity from your current life or past. I can see where you are coming from and yes you do have a point, Eve. I'm sorry that your opinion is spoken from experience *hugs*
Such a behaviour isn't right, and it would definitely have consequences, which would happen either sooner or later depending on how Mazza steers it I guess.
I think Mazza knows the emotional chaos that will come upon the honesty of how the daughter came about. And hearts will be broken, but that is what he had chosen and what he would have to face... and unfortunately, his loved ones too.
There is always a reason for everything. Mazza resorted to something which was selfish, yes, but then perhaps there was more to the story than told so I will not judge any further, although that doesn't mean I condone such an act.

I think I've covered my position in great detail, it's always easy to keep tearing at someone's heels
What would you have me do ? There is only forward life does not have reverse or pause I still learning every day and do you know I think my life is pretty good at the moment I certainly have managed to avoid becoming bitter cynical unlike some ! I love my family and take great care to make sure they are happy and content I can't change the past only learn from it I think I have. it may not fit with your Moral Compass but we are happy.
That is well and good that you love them and takes great care of them. It's also well and good that you have somewhat "saved" an escort's life and given her a better one by supporting her. But I also personally believe that love means honesty.. and if you can't be honest with your loved ones, your guilty conscience might eventually get to you about it... and if it's too late, it might be harder for the loved ones to accept that reality.
Maybe you are afraid of losing your family if you were to tell them the truth? But then that's something you should've thought about before actually doing it.
As I said, the behaviour is morally not right. One one hand. On the other hand, Mazza is trying to shed some positive light out of this, which can be either positive or negative depending on how one looks at it.
I was just trying to say that, just because someone does something bad, we wish them negativity. Constructive criticism is good.. but I don't think taunting or ridicule is (but that is just what I was getting from certain posts in this thread).
We try to help if that person is trying to turn around to be better. Harping on his past mistakes won't help, especially if he does realise it. It'd be a different story if he is proud of what he did and doesn't think it's wrong - which I don't think is the case here.
These are just my thoughts and opinions.. I'm not out to offend anyone or take sides so I apologise first if I do in any way whatsoever.
Peace.
