62. I agree JL. Sometimes you need to be removed from the situation to get better with the issues she is having. Good for her for being brave and honest about it, it may help others out there who are suffering from the same problems.

63. EVER SINCE I SAW A VIDEO OF HER HUSBAND SHOOTING ARROWS INTO PENNED-UP LIVE PIGS FOR 'SPORT', I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR HER. HER CONDONING ANIMAL CRUELTY OF THAT MAGNITUDE IN INEXCUSABLE.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN IT, AND HEARD THOSE POOR DEFENSELESS ANIMALS SCREAMING IN AGONY WHILE HE LAUGHED, YOU WOULDN'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO HER EITHER................

65. Oh Delta! I was sad to hear this- We hadn't heard about/from you for a while -I and I assumed you were living happily ever after. Yes, Hoarding is a DISEASE. Glad you are getting help for everything.....I am sure you will work it all out- and the fog will be lifted and you will be content with yourself again. I have always been a big fanor your acting. But I am a bigger fan of people willing admit when they need help. I will be thinking of you- I know you can do it girl!!!! God Bless

67. We all know someone who is affected by mental illness. It's far more prevalent than people think.

Thank God for people like Delta Burke that go on the record to share their own experiences.

To those of you who think that it might not affect you, just wait. You're young, dumb and full of it now (smirk), just wait.

You'll see.

69. She has always been insecure. About twenty years ago she used to come into a restaurant up on the hill at Universal City called Whomphoppers and hit on younger guys. She was really hot back then and you could tell she was looking for attention. She was very nice, but it was kind of sad to see because the guys were just trying to screw the hot older lady.
