What really disturbed me about Carly in the debate was her trying to grab sympathy for having buried a child to drug addiction.
This is a gross deception. The child was Lori Fiorino, her step-daughter. The girl lived full-time with her mother after her parents divorce when she was ten. Im sure Carly did forge a relationship with her step-daughter, but she did NOT raise the girl.
Second, the step-daughter died when she was 34 or 35 from alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Of course, it was a tragedy, but that was not the impression Carly was creating.
Carlys claim that she buried a child to drug addiction creates the false impression that her own child died from illegal drugs in high school or college. This was a blatant attempt at manipulation with misleading statements. I cannot respect her for taking us for fools.
A more accurate claim would be I buried my stepchild, my husband Franks daughter, to drug addiction, when she was in her thirties.
But that would not have had the effect she wanted. She really showed a lack of respect for both Lori and her bio-mother.

I would imagine it was painful for Lori’s mother to have Carly announce to the world that her daughter had died from drug addiction.
My sister has a granddaughter that is addicted to drugs and even though she knows better my sister feels like she failed her granddaughter somehow.
It’s not true of course but my sister wonders if she could have changed the outcome if she had done something differently or if she had known earlier.
Anyway, that is a private thing and nobody should be talking about it accept her real parents if they choose to.
