Tina: I understand that. It’s just hard for me to be the one to tell someone that they are wrong or to call them out on a lie. I do it at times but I don’t like doing it. You seem to enjoy it.
Bette: That probably has to do with how Melvin raised me. He was always so critical and judgmental. I enjoy seeing justice being served. And if I have to be the one to serve it so be it.
Angelica: Grandpa Melvin I didn’t ever get to met him did I?
Bette: Honey sorry to say that you didn’t miss much. He died when Momma T was pregnant with you. He missed meeting you by only a couple of weeks.
Angelica: Why didn’t I miss much with him.
Bette: I loved my father. He loved me only the way he knew how. He never accepted the fact the I was a lesbian and in love with your mother. He said that he wouldn’t accept her child as his grandchild.
Angelica: Wow. I bet that was hard to hear.
Tina: It was. But Melvin never really accepted me either so it wasn’t much of a surprise to me the he would feel that way. He only called me Ms Kennard except once just shortly before he died. I think the drugs he was on lowered his defenses.
Bette: Yeah I remember that, we were all shocked that he called you Tina.
Tina: Yeah in over eight years he never once called me by my first name before that day. In fact that was the only time.
Bette: I think it was his way of denying what we were to one another. He didn’t want you to be real.
Angelica: Why do you think that was?
Bette: Well daddy had this image of me. This image of perfection. He supported me in all the things that helped portray that image that he had in his head. I filled all of them but one. The husband and family part. Daddy made sure that I had the best. Best schools more so than anything. He made sure that I had opportunities and was exposure to things to broaden my thinking. I’m grateful for that. But I always felt like I had to perform for him love. I was always seeking his approval. And I let that effect my relationship with your mother at times. Early on I didn’t show your mother the respect that she deserved when he was around. Not that I tried to be disrespectful or mean but his approval was more important to me at those times than you mother‘s feelings. I took you mother’s love for me for granted. I was horrible.

This was a wonderful portrayal of a family. It is nice to see parents and children so open to each others feelings.
Great story. Thank you. Loved it.
K, what can I say? I was cleaning up some old messages the other day, and who’d believe only 7 months ago you were just beginning to write FF huh? You did an awesome job with this story, and I do hope to see something from you soon!
No why is this the last chapter,i loved this story hope you post more
“I just think people should do what they say they are going to do or just shut up. They shouldn’t be surprised if someone calls they out on their mess.” NOw hhuummm where have I seen this before? I wonder. I guess it will come to me later. LOl Journey your so bad. Ok I see you stoped but I hope it’s because you have thought of another story and can’t wait to start it. HEHe no presure just thinking out loud. loved the story., and how they explained things to their daughter. thank you see you soon
Journey you did a wonderful job with the story. Really enjoyed it and hope you come back to us with another. Thanks for sharing it with us.
BnTinmyhead I just couldn’t think of more questions that Angelica could ask that really would be appropriate for her to ask. Even though I know a teenage is bound to ask anything. When my children were teenagers they were bound to ask me anything. I liked they we had open communication like that. But some times their questions I was still hesitant to answer. I think I lied only once. :) Yeah only once. I believe that open communication starts when they are very young. You can’t wait until they are teens and expect them to talk to you.When I think of another angle I do another fill in the gaps story. First I have to think of a good gap to fill in. :)
Thank You. I enjoyed the talk over dinner and the affection that they show to one another, not that they just love each other, but the fact that the like and respect each other.
