Chapter 18 – Saturday with the Family
Bette: T? Are you okay?
Tina: Yeah, I’m fine. I was just thinking about my mother. I was thinking how different yours and my relationship is to Angie from mine and my mother’s. Bette, I think this is something that I need to talk to my therapist about. My relationship with my mother may hold some trigger or influence on my behavior.
Bette: Oh god! Really? So, it might not be me?
Tina: No Bette, it may not be you. In fact, I don’t believe it is you at all. It may be something that I am projecting on you. But that would be me and not you. I do not want to say anymore just now. I want to talk to Judith about this on Tuesday. I’ll talk to you about it after I have talked to her. I could be way off base here and I don’t want to over analyze the situation before I see the therapist. But I really think this could help me and us come to some answers.
Bette: That would be wonderful. T? I’m fine with whatever the answer is as long as it means you and I can be together, and we know how to not allow our past or our personalities prevent us from being together. I want to be your partner and lover for the rest of my life, and I am willing to do whatever I can to make that happen. But until we know what caused this, then I have no place to begin. All I can do is support you and love you and hope that this is something we can fix. And deep down I feel that it is something we can overcome. But I also have my fear that your therapist is going to say that Bette Porter is the cause of your problems and there’s nothing that can be done and that we will have happiness for a while but sooner or later you will bolt for the door and this time for good.
Tina rushed over and pulled Bette into a hug and said: Oh honey, there is no way this story ends like that. Bette, I won’t allow the story to even get close to an end like that. I love you too much to do that. And I would hope that you would be brave enough to bar the door and not allow me to get away. Promise me that Bette. That if I ever demand time and space away that you will not allow me to have it without a direct path back.

Good insight about Tina and her parents. I do think the past relationship between Tina and her mother can be what Tina triggers to run away every time she feels unhappy in her relationship with Bette, run away rather than talk about what makes her unhappy.. She was controlling Tina when she and her husband divorced after he cheated on on her.
Good chapter, thank you.
Bibi….
You are sharp and see things that many do not. There is a reason for me putting in some of Tina’s backstory. And the one thing I would like to assure you is that there is no childhood molestation in my story. But there is more to Tina’s life as a child in the next few chapters. There will be a couple of incidents where Tina will make some false assumptions, but they will be quickly resolved. I just hope that in the end, you see this as a reasonable story, perhaps not one you would envision but one which is satisfying as to the whys Gen Q left us with.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
Hi Martha,
I can see this chapter is the tip of the iceberg and that once we look deeper into Tina’s life at home with her parents and sibling, things will be uncovered that she has buried, for whatever reason.
I’m sure both Tina and Bette’s, history with their parents have resulted in them both having unforeseen events and happenings, that have caused them triggers and consequences in their adult life.
It will be interesting to see what comes of Tina’s take with Judith. If Tina will be able to pin point her ‘cut and run’, attitude to something that happened to her unconsciously in her past/childhood.
Great chapter, thanks!
There will be some of that in this story. I hope that you will see the connection between Tina’s backstory and the reason she left Bette and Angie. It is also the reason that Tina and Bette are able to progress so quickly back a possible reunion.
Thank you for your continued support and commenting.
