CHAPTER 10
Such as the way it goes in many cases like this, Henry got his way…He was allowed to take the kids home…The police were powerless to stop him…
And no matter how bad it broke their hearts, Angus and Dylan realised there was nothing they could do to convince Tina to press charges…She had to find the strength to leave by herself…
They just hoped and prayed her parting from her bastard of a husband would not be in a bodybag…
Parsons had no doubt in his mind they would meet again, one way or another…He shuddered as he thought of the worse case scenario…
He wanted to shake this woman…Plead with her to leave for her own safety…But he knew, for the moment at least, his pleas would fall on deaf ears…She was still terrified of this man…She didnt have the strength yet to leave him…He appeared to have an invisible hold on her…
All Angus could do was let her know he would help her if she ever changed her mind…
“Tina, honey you do realise he’ll do it again don’t you?” Angus said, taking Tina’s hand in his own, trying to will some of his strength into her.
“He won’t. He’s promised to get help with his drinking…It only happens when he drinks…” Tina replied, trying to sound convincing.
“Yeah and maybe he thinks he means it when he says he’ll quit the booze…But honey, I guarentee you he’ll fall off the wagon again..”
“He’s never been “on the wagon” Tina said …"He has never recognised that he had a problem before…This was the first time he has admitted to himself and to me that he actually has a problem with booze…”
“Well honey good luck…I really mean it – you’re one of the nicest, prettiest women I’ve ever met…You could have your pick of men…I just don’t understand, why do you continue to let him abuse you?…But I guess its your life…But just remember you only get one shot…Don’t waste it…And Tina? You have both mine and Dylan’s numbers…Please don’t hesitate to use them..”
“Your so sure he’ll do it again aren’t you? Why?” Tina asked, truly caring what this kind, gentle man thought.
“Years of experience…If I had a penny for every loser who promised his Mrs he’d never treat her and the kids badly again…Well, lets just say I would be retired…” Angus replied, trying to convey his skeptisism to Tina.

well, since a debate is going on about the awards, I think it is time for me to make an opinion…you should be awarded with something like that: “writer of the most heart wrentching stuff”…anyway I just wanted to point out that I can’t recall I have ever read something so ‘strength demanding’ on this side…
I think its difficult to read because we care so much for these characters.We have always seen Tina as strong and of her own mind. Pleas continue with this story. This stuff and more happens every day.
Please keep the story going. it is hard reading, but that just makes the journey more fulfilling! :) Lets hope Tina gathers up enough courage to get out before it is too late. PPS
Please keep posting. I agree with FTM, “it’s riveting stuff.” PPS
hello dear long time no see, ive been following you since started posting here, was going to hold of commenting till yougot to your own! new chapters but reading this one again just got me! please continue and i”ll be waiting for whatever xxx
This is my second reading of this story and I can’t wait to read your new chapters too!
Finally Bette’s come into the picture. THank you for the really hard story that you’re writing. Thank you.
It’s a good story, Its only ‘tiny’ bit hard to read at some parts but I don’t find it upsetting at all. Coz I trust you would make it all good at the end! ;) So please continue, your silence reader.
This is a heartwrenching story but it’s a MUST READ on my list and I hope you will see it through to the end. I can appreciate that everyone wants Bette to come to the rescue but I think Tina needs to find the strength within to defend herself and her children with the help that is being offered. Even without Bette in the picture it seems Tina is very isolated from other friends/family if she couldn’t even suggest one other person to take Angelica instead of putting her into the hands of social services and subjecting her to that beating. That in itself gives more insight into the situation. I don’t recall if Mickey’s mother is still alive in this story and if she is why didn’t Mickey go to her? I realize this is reality for some families and I can understand Tina’s fear but if Henry has one sincere bone in his body he would not object to a trial separation while he gets the help he needs. I’m sure that he knows it’s not going to be an easy journey for any of the them and he should be willing to get his family out of harms way if indeed he has no control. Otherwise it’s just a matter of time before he is tempted to drink again and to find an excuse to beat up on them. I’m praying that you will continue to give us glimpses of hope throughout the tragic moments that I’m sure are still in store for us as we continue reading this riveting drama. Brava for going out on a limb and doing something very different with our characters. Please stick it out and bring it to a conclusion. Thank you.
OMG this is so good and now Bette is come to the picture, hope she will come and take Tina home with her. Please post more, thanks!
I still haven’t read the post but know that I support you 110%. You are not upsetting me at all. What you are doing is fantastic, because if it is difficult to read, I can’t imagine how it is like to be writing it. What you are describing is what is happening to a woman or a child somewhere in the world. It is just the crual reality. It just hurtfull and I can’t stop myself crying, thinking of what these women and children were, are and will go through. Thank you for sharing this with us. And I can’t wait to see Tina over come Henry and have back her indepence and freedom. PPVS
Hi IILWT, I am new to this most distressing and intelligent drama. You have shown the reality of domestic abuse. It is harsh and depressing to see a mother and children terrorize by a husband, father & step-father.I can empathize with Tina’s fear and remorse however cannot condone her for staying with Henry when he has attacked Mickey and Angie.Dylan and Angus have seen it all before and are desparately trying to get the message through to Tina. Henry is unlikely to change and his repentance may be short lived once something else happens that he does like.There have been triggers to his behavior but he needs to get counseling and work through them before anything will be resolved.We all need a second chance. Henry is on his nth chance so Tina and the kids need to be devious. I say they should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.What I really would love is for Bette to reappear in Tina’s life and give her the support and strength to leave Henry once and forever.I do get the sense that Bette regrets the past and has her own amends particularly to Angelica as well as Tina.Perhaps this course be her salvation.I am totally hooked and can’t wait to read more of your talented work. Many thanks, A Fan.
OH please keep going this story is hard to read but that’s because you make it so real. You breath into it feelings that are so intense So there was a Bette in this story. Wow that makes what is happening to Tina all the harder to swallow. Was it Bette’s betrayal that cause this lack of self confidence in Tina? I wonder great job I’ll just have to wait for you to give us more.
This is an incredibly hard story to read, but I do hope you continue to write it, because it is a very good story. Besides, this Tina is in me now and I have to know what happens to her, and Angelica, and Mikey. Thanks!!! Oh, and I will second lilla=, if I could I would nominate you for an award, no doubt!!
Oh right !!!! you can’t just leave us hanging like that !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol lol Hope does spring eternal. Things are starting to look up. Very good story. pps
First let me say that I am so sorry that you and your family had to go thru this type of abuse. And I am so glad that your mother had the fortitude to take herself and the children out of the abuse. That takes much courage. This was a most difficult chapter and yes, it is very hard to read, but please you can’t stop now besides, you have just introduced Bette into the story which is what we have all been waiting for. I wondered about the accuracy of the story when I started reading because only someone that has endured it can write accurately and factually about it. Tina should make arrangement quickly to get the hell out of that house and go someplace or to LA that henry can not find her. Or at least if she is in LA he will think twice before bothering her there. Yes, he does have a huge problem with alcohol but he also has a problem with self esteem and that is why he keeps bringing up her past. He knows he was second choice to Bette and if Tina knew the truth she would go back to Bette. henry has lied to Tina with regard to everything about the divorce. I know and would wager everything I have that henry lied to Tina. There is no way Bette would have abandoned Tina financially or emotionally during the divorce and she would have and probably did offer whatever Tina needed financially or in any other capacity. henry has lied and he knows if Tina leaves she will find out the truth. He also knows that if he had told her what Bette offered, she would have thought twice about being with him and the only way he could secure that was to lie to her. What I don’t understand is why Tina did not see any of the papers and why did she leave it all to henry to do. She would have had to sign the papers herself, no one else could do that for her and she would have had to be in a hearing of some kind. You can not get divorced in this country from anyone for any reason without a hearing and signing the paperwork. The only time that could possibly happen, is if Tina did not have representation, and we know henry represented her, which was the biggest mistake she could have ever made. And as angry and hurt as she was Tina would have torn Bette a new one. Tina needs to go to the Clerk of the Courts’ office and get a copy of the divorce and read it for herself. It will all be there for her to see in the Court record. She needs to know this. henry is a lilly-livered COWARD, with low self esteem, plus alcoholic. The alcohol gives him the dutch courage to do and say what he has and be as abusive because he doesn’t have the guts to do it sober. As angus told her, he will do these things again and she might not be as lucky next time. If Mikey had not hollored at him he would have killed her then. Tina is right she does need money to get away and who knows henry just might have money that Bette gave to her in a settlement and he has been using it, the bastard. And of course, he doesn’t want her to find that out either. Nothing that comes up in this story will surprise me. Please continue the story. Thanks for posting.
omg I can’t take anymore, no we have to get Bette in here somehow. Tina is not thinking straight and the only person who can rig her of this nightmare is Bette Porter. Angelica is living a life of hell, fuck the good school or the nice stepdad Henry use to be this is now and Tina really needs to open her eyes and get out even though is not that easy but maybe it really is just that easy…heartbreaking story by every fucking word and the pain I feel in my heart is unbareable
