Life changed this week for a Trenton woman accused of taunting her dying 7-year-old neighbor, prompting her to publicly declare a change of heart.

Jennifer Petkov, 33,

that she used her Facebook account to post disturbing death-related images of Kathleen Edward, who is in the last stages of Huntington's Disease, and her late mother, who died of the degenerative brain disorder.

Why? "Personal satisfaction," she said without apology. "Because it rubs their a---s raw. Burns their a---s."

But something changed in the next 24 hours: The video

.

Petkov said she received death threats and her husband was suspended from his job. As a result, she reached out to local media outlets to offer an apology to the family and the girl.

"If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't do it," Petkov

. "And to that little girl, I apologize if you've been hurt. There's not much more I can say. And hopefully we can live our lives peacefully from now on."

"What I did was ignorant and wrong and I would walk right across this street now and apologize, if it weren’t for the PPO (personal protection order forbidding it)," she

. "I’m not proud of myself because this went from a neighborhood dispute to a huge thing."

Kathleen's stepmother told the newspaper the feud began roughly two years ago when the family did not respond promptly when Petkov asked if her children could come over to play. But as Fox 2 points out, the origin story differs depending on who you ask.

Neighbors also accused Petkov and her husband of towing a coffin behind their truck as a regular reminder of Kathleen's likely fate. Petkov said Thursday the truck was decorated for halloween. Friday her husband said it was because they are fans of the television show "Sons of Anarchy." Either way, they removed it.

supporters are organizing on Kathleen's behalf.
