First, I would like to say that Nick and Mandy should be a shame of theirselves. I
  respected both of them until I read NE article. Nick's mother described Nick as
  lovely, sensetive, and smart boy in the book that she wrote 'The Heart and Soul of
  Nick Carter'. Nick was always close to his parents and siblings, specially B.J. and
  Aaron. What has changed in his life that would make him careless, and heartless?
  Oh, I think that I know the answer, Mandy Williford. He met her, and she changed
  him all around. His grandparents are very ill, and wish that they could spent last
  days with his favorite grandson, specially on family occasion such as Christmas,
  the time when families should be together. Nick's mom said in the book that he
  grew up next to old, ill people, and that it made him very sensetive and caring.
  Again, that has changed because of his "lovely" girlfriend, Mandy. He didn't see his
  siblings for weeks, oh no actually months. And instead of bringing joy and
  happiness in their lives he makes them to cry during the family holiday. Aaron was
  looking out to his big brother, and you can see that very clearly during Ottawa
  concert. Why should Aaron be victim of "loving" and "caring" Mandah? Oh, my god
  Mandy have a little heart, he is just a little boy. I am sure that he didn't do anything
  to Mandy or Nick in order to deserve this. Nick's family was always there to
  support and protect Nick. His mom sacrificed everything for him, and built him into
  the big star. She paid for his lessens even when their family barely could pay for
  food, and electricity. She gave him the most of her time, and love. She was the
  one who gave him advices. She was there for him through bad and good times.
  She was there to encourage him to go on when he didn't see light. She was his
  first fan, and she believed in his talent when no one else did. She was there when
  he had nightmares. Even Nick said that when he had them, the first person that he
  would think of is his mom, and you know why - because she is the person that he
  can trust. His mom is smart, strong lady, and she has been through a lot. She sees
  who is Mandy. So, once again she gave advice to her boy, which is that he
  shouldn't be with Mandy because she isn't good for him. She wasn't the only one to
  say that, the other people who care about Nick said that, as well. Now, Nick turns
  against his family who was there for him all the time, right from the begining.
  However, Nick choose to be with someone who is abusive, manipulative, and who
  is against people that care for Nick, including fans. Nick made his mother cry on
  the Christmas night. He hurt his mom in the way that nobody else did. He drove his
  mom to the edge that she needed to contact tabloids because that is the only way
  she can contact him. And why? Because Mandy wants so. You know how people
  say - you are going to become like the person that you spent most time with-. Nick
  is becoming like Mandy. He is becoming heartless, and selfish just like her. "I care
  about my family" these were Nick's words. Today his words are - I am moving out,
  and doesn't want to spent any time with my family, or socialize with them in any
  way-. This is the way how Nick and Mandy behave. This is the way how they pay
  back to the people who care about them. In the music and entertainment, if you
  want to countinue your success, and be a good sample for other people you
  shouldn't behave this way. Mandy and Nick need to talk with someone, and they
  defently need help. This behaviour is unhealthy. If Mandy really loves Nick then she
  shouldn't let him to turn against his family, friends, and fans. These are people that
  care about Nick, and he needs them just as he needs Miss Mandy. Dear Mandy
  should know that her love toward Nick is hurting everyone around them, and
  specially Nick Carter.

  Sorry for the very long post!
  Christina, you should print this out, and give this to Mandy and Nick when you meet
  them next time. LOL
