Chapter 14 – Good triumphs over evil

”I feel like a total jerk, mom. I almost broke up with Eddie before all this, but he’s not a stranger to me. I feel like I’m betraying him”
Tina held Angie’s head against her chest, rocking a little, as if rocking a small child. ”It’s not your fault that he was raised like this. That he can afford it. It’s not your fault that his parents didn’t give him the amount of love he needed. Perhaps this situation will help him realize that this way of life will ruin him. If he learns a lesson from this, then his future life may be better than if we just turned a blind eye to it. Trust me, honey, nothing happens for nothing. All events lead us to develop, to reach a certain level of understanding. Even if these events are terrible. You couldn’t have predicted this would happen. Don’t let this situation take control of you and overwhelm you. Okay?”
”I love you”
”I love you too, kiddo. Sooo much love”
They lay down again, Tina hugged Angie, and the position in which they fell asleep was like Tina protecting her daughter from the outside world, from everything bad, ready to take any blow on herself, if only her child felt as little pain as possible. Although this, of course, is impossible.
___________________
4 days have passed since the night incident. Bette spent a lot of time with the lawyer, while Tina focused on Angie and her mental health. She suggested that her daughter resume sessions with the therapist that Angie went to a couple of years ago, when Kit died and her parents divorced. She had a good relationship with Dr. Ingrid Becker, who did not annoy Angelica and did not try to teach something, but was very tactful and found the right approach to ensure that the girl opened up. Angie wasn’t particularly open with people, especially strangers. To make her feel safe and comfortable-you had to try hard, but do it unobtrusively. This is her trait-to be outwardly open, but internally inaccessible to most people. That’s why both Tina and Bette appreciated Dr. Becker, who helped their daughter in many things and did it professionally, but at the same time very humanly, sincerely interested.

So Eddie has been dealt with, but Angie feels sorry for him. This is not good. Her mom was pushed into broken glass and injured and she took up for Eddie rather than defend her mother. That is not good. Eddie represented a threat to her two moms and yet she is defending him because of his family. Having a bad family does not justify bad behavior. Having a bad upbringing does not justify breaking into a house to talk to someone who has been avoiding you for a while. A bad upbringing does not justify putting your hands on anyone.
So Angie has had her first sexual experience with Eddie? I sure hope they used protection. Its going to be chaos if Angie ends up pregnant with Eddie’s child. That would be a whole new set of problems for Bette and Tina as well as Angie.
Bette needs a James in this story. Someone who can run the gallery with organization and grace in Bette’s absence and only refers the big problems to Bette. Then Bette would have more time to devote to her family. Of course there will always be times when she will have to spend long days at the gallery, but with the right team, they would be less frequent.
Now…. thank you for the posting….. can’t wait for the next chapter..
Totally agree with all you say. If Eddie had not been stopped I suspect he would have raped Angie. Bette needs to know about Angie and Eddie having sex. Tina cannot keep that from her. Angie needs to get her mind right. And Bette most certainly needs a James ASAP.
Yeah, you can expect anything from people like Eddie. James is very much needed, but it is unlikely that after ~10 years, he is still interested in being just Bette’s assistant. I don’t think career growth has passed him by :)
Yes, Bette needs a professional who she can trust as much as she can herself. Based on her character, it seems to me that it is difficult for her to give instructions and then not double-check everything. Hence the workload at work.
Thank you!
Yeah, Angie behavior about this Eddie are very strange. And yeah, therapy maybe good, but i’m prefer that she talked with her mothers, not with therapist
It would be so great if we could discuss all the problems with our parents and not avoid some topics. It would be a better world. :)
So maybe this is just teenage angst… her first boyfriend, her first sexual experience…. of course she is going to defend him, if he is the shithole that he appears to be then her decision to sleep with him looks really bad…. so in teenager logic it makes sense to defend, deflect, dodge.
Or maybe Angie has suffered more than everyone realizes with the divorce and discord between her mamas.
Either way, therapy is the best way to unravel this situation.
I agree with Billy that James is needed and that Tina needs to clue Bette in on everything. A secret like this, in this environment could be real trouble to their reconciliation.
Looking forward to the next chapter-

I think that first boyfriend and first sex are a bit (or a lot) clouding the view of the situation, and Angie can’t think rationally when it comes to Eddie.
Thanks, BK!
I am in agreement what is up with Bette and her job. Slippery slope before the dust settles on the reconciliation.

Agree about Bette and her work. Angie may be confused or troubled and need some counseling. She should also be talking to BOTH moms. Eddie does not seem like the kind and gentle type. Tina is minimizing that aspect. Also – Angie is a minor and the age of consent in California is 18 so legally Eddie is also guilty of statutory rape. Even if an adult age 18 has sex with someone who is 17 (which I’m not sure Angie is)they can face criminal charges.
Well, they are starting to have a time when they need to put words into practice and work on relationships
