Love Lost, Chapter 3
Tina saw her life as this puzzle, which at one time felt complete. Bette’s affair had demolished the beautiful picture that was created when all the pieces fit together, but bit-by-bit, Tina had slowly put it back together, and currently there were still several pieces still missing.
On her road to self-discovery, Tina felt the only thing she could be sure of anymore was Angelica. The little girl had become her life, and really her sole reason to live. There were a lot of things she would need to learn for herself still. When she began having feelings for men again, this spun her life into further turmoil. She didn’t want these feelings. She didn’t want to leave Bette, but it was as if some powerful entity was forcing her to restart from square one. By experiencing these feelings again she could truly discover who she was and who she needed to be, not only for herself but also for her little girl.
First there was Josh, a would-be casual fling had he not been such an arrogant jerk, followed by Henry.
“Oh, Henry…” Tina sighed, remembering the day they met and every day in between that led them to his proposal. “Henry, I’m so sorry,” she cried into the gentle breeze wishing he could hear her genuine remorse. He had really only been caught in the middle of all this, she felt, and she knew she was to blame.
When Tina met Henry, there was undoubtedly a connection made. She saw this man with a great love for his son and saw herself reflected in his eyes. The connection was that of mutual parenthood with a tiny amount of attraction mixed in. And so she fell, not hard but enough…
A life with Henry would be easy. It would be a new beginning for them all. She realized this move would dramatically change her relationship with Bette. More walls and barriers would quickly arise and then it became a choice: she could fight through and find something she knew was real and true but would need some work, or she could take the easy way and just settle.
Unknowingly, Bette had made this decision for her or at least made it easier. First with her actions to file for sole custody and second by driving off with Angelica without telling her and without abiding by the rules they had set. Anger and fear over losing Angelica prevented her from seeing Bette’s own fear, and with Henry at her side and as her encourager she made the decision to not follow through with the adoption. She had even made precautions to keep Bette as far away from Angelica as she could.

The Tibette Ship is slowly righting itself. I hope that both women are able to really sit down and talk about all the pain and suffering that both have endured the past 2 years. I am so looking forward to reading what comes next.
Yep glad Tina now talking and yeah go fight for your Bette and never let her go. OK post soon please, thanks!
That’s right FIGHT Tina! She is afterall your daughter’s mother and the love of your life!
Fantastic as usual. Love how your giving each of them their moments to relive and remember. I’m a true believer in all roads eventually lead to where we were destined to be. So they hit a fork in the road, all they have to do is for once in the last few years be honest with each other. What’s that I read, heading to S.F, coming for our parade or is it just the Grand Marshal you want to see?
