“Thank you for coming. I didn’t think you would.” He says.
“I almost didn’t. So, what is it that you want to talk to me about?” She asks in a non-caring voice.
“I want to apologize to you.” He starts.
“I guess that is about time, don’t you think?” she says through seething teeth.
“Yeah it is.” He says. There are a few moments of silence, both thinking about the past.
“Was I that horrible a wife that you needed to hurt me the way you did?” Tina asks.
“No, you were a great wife.” He replies.
“Then why? What changed you? You were a real prince when we were in high school and when I was in college. What changed when I got back?” Tina asks.
“I don’t know. You were all I ever wanted. But I guess the past caught up with me when you left for college. I was sure that you wouldn’t come back. That you would find a more handsome and richer man in LA. My dad had this strong hold on my mom for so long. I saw how he acted and the way she did everything he told her to do. I promised myself to never become my father, but here I am. I even surpassed him.” Eric says.
“Why didn’t you ever tell me about what your father had done to you?” Tina asks.
“I was embarrassed.” Eric simply says.
“Embarrassed? Why? It was nothing to be embarrassed about.” Tina replies.
“Maybe not, but what was the way I felt at the time. I was thirteen, I should’ve been able to stand up for myself more.” Eric says.
“Eric, you were only thirteen years old. You shouldn’t have to stand up to him.” Tina says.
“Yeah, well… I was insanely jealous, that was what triggered it. Then I just couldn’t stop it. After every fight we had, and you left for work before me in the morning, I cried, every time, I cried. But still I couldn’t stop. I am so sorry Tina, for hurting you. I hope you one day can forgive me. I know we are over and I want you and Evan to be happy, and I know you will be without me. I asked my lawyer to draw up some papers. Giving you full parental rights to Evan. It’s not because I don’t love him, because I do, very much. It’s because I know he will be better without me. You are a great mother Tina. I’m sorry I couldn’t be a great father to him and a husband to you.” He says.

I missed this story. I like the way you handled that.
aww thanks 4 another chapter :) pps
Thank You. I am glad that you had Eric be remorseful about his behavior. It was truly a surprise and a nice turn in the story. Now Tina and Evan can move on with Bette.
Glad to see you back with another chapter. eric surprised me with his apology and it is about time. Glad that Tina showed him that she was not afraid of him any longer. It’s good that he gave her the house that will make her feel better about the sale of the property and everything that she has to do including moving on. Glad he did not threaten Bette or anything of the sort. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
Didn’t expect Eric to be remorseful but like it. Think it’s nice you gave some humanity to Evan’s father. Can’t wait for next chap, PPS!
You know when something sounds too good to be true? LOL Thanks!
At least there is some hope for Eric, I hope that you truly gets the help that he needs.
Lauren where is the next chapter of another terrific story????? Hope all is well PPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Now its Time for Tina to move on.PPS
I’m glad that Eric realizes at least some of the damage he’s done to Tina. It’s great that Tina held her ground and now she really can move forward. Thanks for posting! I love this story.
Glad Eric was remorseful and it was good that Tina didn’t tell him where she was going such a great story to read thanks.
Here you are. It is nice to have a post from you. I have missed this story. That was the best thing to do Eric. Now Tina can start living and Evan will have Bette as second parent (hopefully lol). PPVS.
That was just excellent. Thank you.
Hey Lauren, It was good that Eric apolgised to Tina however I don’t think I could have forgiven him if I were in Tina’s place. It was interesting that him asked Bette to protect Tina in the future. I hope this gives Tina the courage to admit her love for Bette and build a family with her and Evan. More please as this tale is such a rollercaoster ride. I do hope for a happy ending. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
