The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Dina Manzo says she is trying to repair her relationship with her family but they are excluding her from their lives.
Manzo says she invited her sister Caroline Manzo and sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita to her daughter Lexi's graduation party but neither came.
However, Dina did admit that Jacqueline tried to have a sit-down meeting beforehand to hash things out but that she turned down the offer.
"I would love for them all to show up and everything just go away," Dina says of the family feud that has played out in the headlines. "I tried to squash it a million times in the press, say everything was fine, hoping that they would go along with it and then just like see each other and everything goes back to normal. But it somehow doesn't go away."
Dina also revealed that she was not invited to the engagement party for Caroline's daughter Lauren Manzo and doesn't know if she'll be attending the wedding.
"Do you know how hurtful that was? I didn't know it was like that," Dina said of the magnitude of the fued.
