Tracy’s eyes were wide, her grip on the chair tightened and she watched the exchange between her children.
Kaitlyn stood up. “Dad did those things!” She slammed her hands on the table, the glasses tinged as she moved.
“That wasn’t me! It wasn’t Mom! Stop punishing us for what he did. We didn’t know what he was doing. It’s not fair for you to cut us out of your life because he messed up. We’re your family!”
Chris Anderson folded her arms across her chest, a gentle frustration hanging in the corners of her downturned lips. “You’re no longer my family. She’s my family. She’s my life. And if you go near her again, I’ll end you.”
“Who are you?” asked her mother.
Christina turned to the woman who’d given her life, but who had always seemed like a stranger. She shrugged, unable to see anything but distaste in her mother’s eyes. That look. That gaze. It brought back so many difficult days for Tina. She wanted to be strong in this moment. Yet those memories of hurt and rejection made her eyes water.
“I’m me,” she said, her voice beginning to tremble. “I’m the only person I’ve ever been. I’m the problem-child. The daughter you could never make fit into the neat little picture in your mind. The same daughter you disowned for dating a woman. I’m me, mother. I’ve always been me.”
Tracy’s eyes were filled with tears. “How can you be so cruel? How can you choose that woman over your own family?”
Christina shook her head, the water in her eyes fading. “This is cruel? It wasn’t cruel for you to cut ME out of your life because I fell in love with Emma? I fell in love, Mom! I didn’t kill anyone. I didn’t hurt anyone. I was a good person. I was successful. I just loved differently than you wanted me to. So, you disowned me. Left me alone in the world because you didn’t like how I loved.”
Tracy shook her head and pursed her lips. Her nostrils flared and the bridge between her eyes narrowed. “You made that choice! And it was a choice you had to pay for. That’s God’s will. No one is above the law of the Lord!”

No need in name calling now MTS “creeping random gents” lol.. JK. And I did not Tech-shamed you. .. You already had it and I just open the blinds Ok I’ll go read now. I like it when Tina is feisty. at least its and R which means it going to lead up to something Right?
I’m literally laughing out loud. And you did Tech-Shame me. But it’s okay. i don’t bruise easy.
Ok I do admit I had one question and you fixed it. But I couldn’t help it when I saw it .. You cracked me up. I’m not one to pass up a sarcastic moment.. So glad you don’t bruise easily.
Good Chapter….. I think that I would have pointed out that if that car accident had happened the way Dad planned it, that it could have been Tina who was dead and Bette in rehab. Would it have made any difference that dear old dad killed his daughter to save her from a sinful life? And why would he kill Henry? What is the justification for killing Henry?
I still cannot see why a fear of “messing up” Dylan would have kept Kit from seeing her son. He may not have needed therapy had he seen that she was no longer in a comma but gradually getting better. Six months is a long time to keep a child away especially when there is no real reason to do so. People do better dealing with what is, than what their imagination brings about. He had already seen her at her absolute worst, so seeing her on the mend would only be a positive. So they will finally be reunited. Hooray!
Thanks for this chapter.. Look forward to more.
Thanks for the feisty Tina!
Nice chapter, love Kit.
Stay safe and post again soo, please
SG
Oh well Not R I was looking for but good all the same. Brought back some old thoughts for me. but Chapter was good. I’m glad Kit is doing better and ready to see her son. Thank you.
Thank you for this chapter!
I don’t agree with Tina about her family – yeah, with her hypocritical mother she is definitely not ready to make a peace, but with her sister? I don’t know but seems that they could find some common ground. If her sister will accept Tina’s relationship – maybe Tina could give her another chance.
And i agree – time for Dylan to see his mother
Hi MTS,
I can’t hide anymore, especially after your request to be friends with me ????
I have read this story from the beginning and it is fantastic. I still have to catch up with the other stories.
Thank you!
I like this determined and no-nonsense Tina, eh, Chris. Straight to the point, out with the truth.
I don’t know what reality Sis Kait and Ma Kennard live in. But if even this terrible crime commited by Pa Kennard isn’t enough to at least change their tune to “live and let live” and be ashamed of what he did to Tina and the people in her life, Tina shouldn’t waste another word.
Kaitlyn might be irritated by her mother’s religious tunes but she also dismisses Tina’s love for women as something like a pastime. I think I remember some strange comments from Kaitlyn at a family dinner (in your last book).
Anyway I don’t believe that she wants to spend time with Tina. She only wants to make sure that the money from the family business keeps coming.
Great moment at the hospital with Kit. I’d say it did wonders to both Kit and Tina. Looking forward to Dylan’s visit to his mother.
Now I’m anxiously waiting for Tina to return home to Bette and tell her about both meetings.
Thank you for posting!
Hey Kiwi…stop reading my thoughts!! Tina returning home to Bette is exactly the focus of the next chapter!
And I agree. Sometimes you have to cut off those people that drain your joy. You might mend things later, but people should heal first.
I died at “creeping random gents” LOL
Lol! I think that dude from Italy is still on here. He might now be a different screen name and pic. Like damn…is nothing sacred? ????????????????????️????
