Tina: Helena, now that the film has been released and been a box office success, I’m going to take some time off.
Helena: Well you’ve certainly earned it. Will you and Angelica be going away or staying local?
Tina: A bit of both. I really want to do some work in the garden, but know I need to get away a well.
Helena: Anything I can help you with? You know I love to travel.
Tina: No thanks Helena, I have a few things in mind.
Several months after Bette left Tina finally admitted that she had driven Bette away, but she didn’t understand why she would do that. She always loved Bette, but stopped showing her and she did it on purpose. The apparent attraction and interest in men, especially Josh Becker also confused her. She did like the initial encounters with Josh, but it wasn’t long before she realized this was sex and she was the booty call du jour. This was neither the life nor partner she wanted. She never really broke it off with Josh, just became less available and he stopped calling. He was her forbidden fruit and she’d gone for it, damn the consequences. Why would she sabotage her life as well as Angelica’s life for sex? Did she really want a new partner, a male partner? Deep down does she really think Angelica has to have a daddy and that it is her job to make that happen? Finally, Tina realized she needed therapy; it was not normal to sabotage your own life and then look around as if it was someone else’s fault. Tina knew it was time to look in the mirror.
A week later at the Planet
Alice: Alright, so we’re all meeting here for breakfast as usual then kidnapping Kit to head to LAX?
Shane: If you must make an adventure out of it, yes that’s the plan.
Tasha: Come on Shane, don’t rain on her parade. Alice has been looking forward to this trip for months.
Carmen: I hate to say this, but it’s going to be weird going to one of Bette’s shows without Tina there.
Shane: Well things have been weird here for a long time; just get used to it because Bette needs us.

Great update!! So heartbreaking! Hope these two can find their way back to each other!
Woo, progress for B&T&Boo!
waoooooo what a post this was just… i dn’t know mixed feeling; hearbreaking for the pain Bette and Tina are feeling right now and happiness of seeing the support of gang, the love they still share with each other. oh this story is wicked. Can’t wait for the next post lol PPVS
You know, they both made exacltly the same mistake…Bette was emotionally distraught and in a downward spiral when she chose to have her affair with Candace. Tina too was in an emotional downward spiral when she chose Josh. They both chose sex as a release to their relationship that was wrought with problems instead of choosing each other to lean on and work through things. You are doing a fabulous job with this story Lwsho…choosing to present both their sides through a therapist was a great idea. I really hope that their will be a happy ending to this…because I am an unashamed Tibetter! Hoping for another update soon.
Amazing update. I am estatic that there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. PPS.
Great Update!!!! Thank you Have a safe trip.
Thanks to soo many of you for reading this. I wanted to post it before leaving, and didn’t get a chance to edit it well. I’ve cleaned up a lot of typos. jp22: Ellen has Tina’s best interest at heart. She says some of the same things Helena said a few chapters back, but Tina did not get subtle, hence the stronger approach. Keep in mind Robin Wiliams’ character in Good Will Hunting. At times he was rough on Matt Damon’s character, at other times gentle. There were a lot of layers to get through; in the end progress was made. Let’s hope this works for Tina. Bette therarpist is softer, remember Bette came to her as essentially a grieving parent; completely different set of issues and approach needed.
Hey gang! I have intense auntie duty this week and can’t quite do that and get some writing done this week. I have parts done, but not enough to post. Hope to get something posted by early next week. Between my long drives to pick up and return my nephew, work and our days together the story is taking a back seat.
This was an AWESOME update. I’m glad Tina realized that she couldn’t have her cake and eat it too. I want Bette to spend a day with Angie on her birthday. I love this story and B&T. Have a safe road trip and come back soon.
That was truly heartbreaking. I hope that even though they have hurt each other so much, this is the beginning of baby steps towards one another.
I love the conversations with their respectives shrinks :)
I love the way you’re unraveling Bette and Tina – there’s much more here – more realistic and thoughtful than the glaring voids left by the actual show.
I know their respective therapists seem to be helping… but Tina’s therapist, I dunno. Calling her straight-talking is being kind, the woman seemed damned near unprofessional with her harshness. I’d have been out the door after the first session, let alone paying for six weeks of that kind of treatment! I guess Tina, on some level, thinks she deserves it, or needs it. As long as it helps them move forward… I did like that Tina sent the flowers and the note and they were well-received by Bette. A nice gesture, and it’s progress. Thanks for the update and have a safe trip. Cheers
That was deep and I loved it. I’m glad Tina came back to her senses. Be safe! :)
really enjoyed reading that, i too hope that this starts communication between them again and that at least boo can be back in bettes life, pps!
I love your story and it is so much better than the show……more in depth and it explains so much more. They have miles to go. The dueling therapy sessions are a great way to show character development.thanks
Great update and I hope this is a beginning of them getting back together. I know it’s going to be slow but it will happen right :) Thank you again for this story :)
I read this update several times, waiting ffor a new one! :) And I must say that I don’t understand why Bette is so nice towards Tina. She should be more hard. :) I hope she will be, because I love drama!! :) Anyways, it’s a great update and a great story, and I an’t wait for your next post!
Its sad to see they not together!
