"The awards dinner, I was so very proud of you and I was there to support you, even though I was not at your side, not your date. You were kind and came to support me with Daddy, thank you very much for that. You said you wanted to date me, but you’d continued to see Helena too and if I couldn’t accept that too bad. Again you made me feel unworthy giving me a sniff, but pulling the rose away quickly.  However, feeling as low as I already did and knowing a life with you and our baby was what I wanted I agreed and was prepared to fight for you. Unfortunately I had to deal with Daddy and we didn’t get to fully deal with that. Then out of the blue you say, “I want us all to have a home together” I could not believe my luck, I was going to have both my babies home with me. "

"Tina when you got the upperhand in our relationship you chose to belittle me, disrespect me and nag me about getting a job and every little purchase that I made. You also offered no physical or emotional support. Tina I know we had to wait for medical reasons before becoming intimate, but we went way past that. You couldn’t connect with me on any level and dismissed my feelings and decisions publically. When you stayed at home, without a child to care for, I never gave you grief about how our money was spent. By the way, I never felt the money from Helena’s studio was ours, it was always yours.  When I had to go to DC I told you “I’ll miss you” and you just ignored me. Let’s see, we live in the same house, sleep in the same bed share a child and you can’t even say you’ll miss me, give me a hug or kiss good bye?  What do we have left Tina? I called you from Barbara’s apt because I wanted you so badly but didn’t think you wanted me at all. Here I am way across the country reaching out for something, begging for a sign and I get nothing. Fortunately I don’t make the same mistake twice, I don’t assume we are over and jump in the sack with her. I still wanted you and only you Tina. You in the meantime are getting cozy with Josh and take off to Vancouver with him. Then you have the audacity to lie in my bed night after night, recoiling from my touch and showing me no affection, tell me you’re attracted to men and I’m supposed to be OK with that? I really had gone soft if you thought I’d go for that crap Tina, enough is enough. You’re calling the shots, go do what you want or need to do and I’ll do the same. Clearly I wanted us much more than you did. Then like a petulant child you go get Henry, bring him into our home and screw him in my bedroom, what used to be our sanctuary?  You pose for a family picture with him and his kid in my home? What am I just supposed to wait until you take Angelica away from me?  At that point no matter the state of our relationship that’s my daughter; I was neither leaving her nor allowing you to take her. At that point we were over and all I had left of ‘us’ was Angelica, you’d chosen the straight life and Henry over me. Finally we’ve worked out custody with Angelica and even finding a way to be friends again. But Tina to say I trust you fully isn’t right. There have been three big pains in my adult life: losing my father, seeing you with Helena/losing my CAC job and losing you to Henry. Tina two of those were at your hand. Do you really think I’d put my heart in those hands again?  You had a chance to take care of it and instead you ripped it to shreds. What could I possibly gain by putting it back in your hands?  I loved your purely, but eventually it was not free and I don’t think I am strong enough or interested enough to go there for a third time. Given what you put me through, would you Tina? You relished in delivering a body blow each time you saw and opening, never passing up the opportunity. Are you sure that’s love?"
