Chapter 12 B
At Peggy’s hotel suite, Helena sat dazed, staring into space, nursing a cup of tea. Peggy walked in the see Helena looking at a loss, “Helena you’ve been seeping that tea bag for the past ½ hour. I’m sure that it’s cold and too strong by now.”
“Mummy I am still stunned. I feel like a total fool.”
“Darling, I do believe her when she said it was a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. You need to talk to her and try move beyond it. She was distraught. I’m sure she is in just as much pain as you are right now.” Sitting down on the sofa next to Helena and holding one of Helena hands, Peggy asked, “Do you believe she loves you?”
Helena shook her head, “I thought she did, but now….”
“If you think she loves you what else matters? Fight Tina for her. Why are you giving up so easily? Why are you handing her over to Tina? That doesn’t seem like you. Is that what all these years in LA and yoga has done to you?”
“Why should I fight for her? Why doesn’t she fight for me? If she loves me, why doesn’t she fight whatever keeps drawing her back to Tina? She should fight whatever it is that she cannot resist? No, I can not fight what I do not understand.”
“Helena I know when you are done you move on but at least speak to her. At least give her that.”
Looking at her mother with contempt, “Mother, I cannot believe you are so sympathetic to her." Pulling her hand away she added, "How did you put up with Daddy’s extracurricular activities?”
“I looked the other way until I couldn’t anymore. It nearly killed me in the process. I resented you because you looked so much like him. I had to send you away because looking at you was a painful reminder of him. Thinking of him made me feel that I was not adequate to meet his needs.”
“You see, I don’t want that.” Getting up from the sofa Helena added, “Mother I wanted to do so much with her. I was even thinking” She began to shake her head as she ran her fingers along the desk in the room, “Forget about it.”

and I think ‘work’ is a great cure because it occupies one’s time and yet gives distance from the problem and allows a person to exercise the brain to face up to reality. Helena deserves the best and she needs to believe this not keep putting herself in the rejects box.I don’t blame Tina for any of this stuff where Bette is concerned, Bette’s issues are her own and she needs to sort ’em; likewise Tina’s belong to Tina; Helena’s to Helena. They each need to OWN their own stuff, no blaming others just own & deal with their own stuff. Relationships are often an escape route from NOT DEALING with our own personal issues. It takes a grown up to have an equal adult relationship and to raise children for the right reasons not just an extension of our own ego. PPS
Hello Squirl, I think that Peggy is right, Helena should take some time, but she does need to resolve this before she goes running away. That is the one thing that Helena needs to let go of people leaving her, her abandonment issues have blinded her from taking the proper steps to assure that this relationship might have worked. She was so sure that this was going to happen that she didn’t even try to stop it, she assured the abandonment she so thought was heading her way, and until she can release this pain she will never find the happiness she desires. For her to consider having a baby with Bette means that there are emotions there that are beyond the “I Love You’s” this is the tangible extension of themselves, for Bette that is her biggest fear by not giving into Tina the fear that she will lose her daughter which Tina has done in the past… if Helena would have communicated with Bette like she feels should exist in a relationship she would have realized that the “Love” Bette has for Tina isn’t “Love” but fear… she could have helped ease this fear away. Of course Bette isn’t going to love Angelica any less but it would have removed that Trigger from Tina, the leverage that having Angelica has over Bette. Helena needs to realize that running away will not take the pain away… it will only make it worse. Sincerely, JC
Ok so Helena has a history of being ‘rejected’ by those who profess to or should love her e.g. Peggy; Peggy has a history of turning the other cheek to her abuser (i.e. husband) until she hates so much she can’t separate her daughter from him…and she wants Helena to follow her pattern by making up with/talking to Bette which will lead to making-up because that is Bette & Helena’s pattern and then Helena will have a baby for Bette but unless Bette sorts her shit & Helena sorts her shit their relationship either NOW or in the future is doomed and so is that child just like poor little Angelica who was conceived when B & T’S RELATIONSHIP WAS A MESS and has suffered from their distractions ever since; Helena has a pattern of choosing unavailable partners e.g. Tina, Dylan & Bette…the only one ith any sense in this story is Pam & that is probably because she has suffered ‘ultimate loss’ both her wife and child… in comparison Bette, Helena & Tina have acted like spoilt brats…they have choices to make and that requires the exercising of their brain cells rather than their fingers!!! GREAT THOUGHT PROVOKING STORY…Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year BUT PPS.
oh…no…Helena…face Bette…give her chance to explain…she deserves a forgiveness…please!! don’t let Tina comes between you.
Geez Paggy…I know you adore Bette’s talent w/ art but pls…what are you saying to Helena…You have to respect your daughter’s decision and not to push her. Helena now learned how painful to find out that your lover had sex with someone else…… What goes around comes around….That’s how Bette felt when Helena seduced Tina pregnant….(Remember?) It’s really a mess getting involve w/ someone who was a former lover of you former lover….Helena should find a lover not belong in these circle, because of the past history w/ each other…She should not waste her time with Bette who has a pattern of cheating…..Make herself busy find someone she deserves….Bette needs to seek help for her promiscuity….not a healthy behaviour…Once again…thanks for posting.
You can’t run from love. Many have tried and fail. I know sometimes talk can be cheap but you never know what can happen until you do it. People all the time hide behind reasons why they can’t or won’t do something. You know Peggy with her many faults did make a valid point. Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. Because whether she wants too believe it or not Bette is the prize, a damage one though. Most women that I know would not accept the way this went down. It’ about time everyone step up to the plate. So far we have two strikes for each player. I’m a firm believer that being negative create negative vibes. These ladies have alot to workout but it can be done. Excellent update!
Really squirl – you have me on this emotional rollercoaster and I can’t figure out what side I’m on. Help me! So of course I want Bette and Helena together, but after Bette’s royal screw up by f***ing Tina I was squarely on Helena’s side. But wait, Peggy has a point. Why isn’t Helena fighting for Bette? I mean she got Bette super frustrated (sexually) and then told her to work things out w/ her ex before they could be together (physically and emotionally). well that’s like dangling a bone in front of a dog…..come on, no body has that much will power (do they?). So now I’m back to even though Bette did a dirty dirty thing, it’s partially Helena’s fault for not fihting for her woman and telling Tina to simply back off. I mean Tina was in hot pursuit and Helena was no where to be found so what was Bette to do. On to part 3!
First anyone who gets with bette or tina knows there is so much history between the 2,they should know to stay away! helena was right to make bette work things out with tina, but she should have supported bette more. bette needs to get off her ass and do what she has to do! that is face her feelings once and for all about tina. so why isn’t helena fighting for bette? tina was not pursuing bette she is interested in pam and of course sees the games for what they really are! beside i think pam is better suited for helena than tina. but let her some fun with tina first. tina needs some fun!!!!
Peggy is correct in advising Helena to take time to sort things out. She’s obviously more forgiving now than she was with her husband’s infidelities. It’s curious how she really seems to want B & H together!
