(Turning to Bette, with venom in her voice.) Don’t sit here and act like you didn’t get anything out of it. You were able to quit the CAC, a job you hated, to stay at home and run the business. So please Do Not sit here and pretend like you were doing this for me. You saw an opportunity to create something for yourself and you took it. Just like you, to not have my best interests at heart, you were only focused on what you could gain just like always. You have always been so selfish and self absorbed, Bette. Everything is about you.
Dr. Laurel says kindly, ‘Bette and Tina this conversation is no longer productive. I think the two of you need to take a break to re-group and re-focus on why you are here.’
After a 10 minute time-out Bette and Tina return to their seat and Dr Laurel says ‘Is everything ok now? Are you ready to proceed?’
Bette and Tina look at each other, each trying to gauge what the other is thinking.
Tina finally responds to Dr. Laurel by saying, ‘honestly, Dr. I don’t think I can continue this conversation right now. I don’t think I can take any more or go any further today. Frankly, if it’s alright with Bette I’d like to call it a day. I mean my head is swimming and I can’t think straight and emotionally I feel like a basket case.’
Looking at Tina, Bette says, ‘I am fine with stopping here.’
‘Alright ladies, thank you for being honest. Is my administrative assistant correct; you two plan on coming in three times a week?
Yes, Dr. Laurel. Tina and I feel that we really need to work on us and part of that is finding out what our issues are. We think that you can help us reveal them.
Alright then; I already have you scheduled for your next appointment. I will see you soon. Take care and have a good afternoon.
We both head to the car, immersed in our own thoughts. I am not sure where all of that stuff came from. I didn’t realize that I was feeling that way until I started talking. It just came out of my mouth so easily. Surprisingly, I feel a small sense of relief that I got that off my chest, but I also feel bad. I don’t want to hurt Tina and I am not sure that I have the right to feel the way that I do.
Once we reach the car and get in. I start the car and back-up. Tina cracks the window and lights a cigarette. She stares out the window and says ‘this is going to be very hard,’ more to herself than to me. No more words are spoken on the long journey home.

Three times a week? …Photography must be a good business to be in! …as Tim Gunn says, “Make it work!” … Thanks!
Seems it’s going to take more work than I imagined, too. Well, I hope they’re willing to put in the effort because I always think these two belong together!
it will be hard because they don’t talk to each other, therapy can only help so much, so i hope it will help them talk
This is gonna take a miracle…does Tina realy want to be there? Dosen’t seem like it.
I can’t believe Bette lets Tina smoke in her beloved car. They were really nasty and hurtful to one another. How can they go home together and act all ‘normal’???PPS.
Hey, feel free to let the chapters flow like water. it’s better than sitting and staring at what you have so far and realizing your brain is constipated (I’m being serious here). Loved the name of the doctor. ;) Bette really shouldn’t feel bad for feeling as she does. it sounds like Tina is always looking for a fight and Bette has no choice but to stand down if she doesn’t feel like fighting back. And WTF, Tina. I smoke and even during my most intense therapy sessions I’ve never asked to light up, although if things were REALLY tough my therapist would probably say we could go outside and experience a calmer atmosphere.
Well i could imagine couples therapy can get like this. I am loving this. Can’t wait for more therapy sessions.
how nasty….they been carrying around them nasty thoughts about each other no wander thy can’t get it on…fix it moho..
If Tina thought this was hard, wait until she has to admit to her 2 affairs. She seemed very defensive in her rant at Bette.
Tina seems very defensive…..does she really want to make it work, or is she more interested in placing blame on Bette? Will she tell Bette about the affair? keep them flowing and I’ll be reading!
I’ve been enjoying your fic and needed to comment. I felt that Bette’s discription while painful for Tina was never nasty, she was just talking about her feelings..Therapist always says Use I statements!, Tina..well Tina went for name calling and finger pointing…not cool…I agree..with who ever said Tina doesn’t seem like she wants to be there very much…I think Tina reacted the way she did because she feels guilty…THanks keep them coming!
