“Yes, grandma, I hear you.”
I left grandmother as the conversation was brought to an end. Turning on the radio in the old Lincoln, I sat there, had no idea where to go, and then I heard this old song coming up. “This sullen Welsh Heart”, I believed it was its name.
“I don’t want my children to grow up like me,
it’s too soul destroying, it’s a mocking disease,
a wasting disease.
……
I can’t fight this war anymore,
time to surrender, time to move on.
So line up the firing squads, kiss goodbye to what you want,
go with the flow, go home.
You can’t keep on struggling when you’re alone.
(when you’re alone)…
This sullen Welsh heart
it won’t leave, it won’t give up.
The hating half of me
has won the battle easily.
(the battle easily)…”
It was such a sad song. I thought there was, like, 1/32 of Welsh lineage in me. It didn’t matter, though, if I had little knowledge of this particular root of my ancestry whatsoever, in the soft singing, I rocked myself in the driver’s seat and sobbed until my eyes hurt.
That was when I had come to the resolution to move on from my past. I had been punishing her for too long, I had been punishing myself too long. And I gradually came to an understanding that I’d always hold a soft spot for her in my heart. But I would not make the same mistake again. I would not expose myself to the weakening feelings. That should be fine, for the both of us, that we keep whatever happened between us to ourselves, and try to co-parent the boy together.
Michelangelo had been asking about me. This was the best news I heard all week. I was happy with the schedule we came up with, that I could have him this weekend. We could go visit museums, art studios, and the zoo together or something.
Thanksgiving was in a week. Maybe this year I could stay longer, even after the holiday, to spend more quality time with my son.
During the weekend, I picked him up at his other mother’s house as promised. He packed an overnight bag and his favorite teddy bear. I teased him a bit as he couldn’t seem to stuff the toy in his backpack. In the end, he decided to use my more spacious handbag for the stuffed animal, and he hugged the bag in front of his chest so the bear could look out the window. I let him do it. The little black eyed bear sat in my bag, with its head out for “sight-seeing”, it challenged the pedestrians on the road, and stared at kids in other cars that drove beside us, when the gentle morning light fell through the convertible hood and caressed its brown fur, it generally assumed a grand air of importance.

Alright, folks, you see the tension, and Tina’s still at Bette’s place. You can guess where I’m heading to from now on.
Wait till you see the next chapter!
And I’ve always promised to fix things.
Thank you for reading, and please I welcome your comments.
Peace
Have a nice trip and thank you for the update.
Thank you, I was indeed very lucky with my visa application.
RT,
God bless you on your visa application.
I’m glad to read your new chapter. I understand Bette’s feelings but Tina truly loved her and still loves her. So I hope that B will be able to accept Tina again.
Did Tina committed suicide? I hope that B will discover this so that she will know that Tina suffered too.
Will be waiting for your next chap :)

Thank you very much. The application went well. I’m waiting for the result and I’m certain that it was successful.
Your guess is very accurate. But it has not been divulged in the story yet. I’m going to discuss on it in later chapters and you’ll find out how I manage it.
Hope you like the next chapter. :)
Oh boy, there is for sure a lot of tension and anger.
The road for happiness will be long and with a few bumps.
Sounds like Bette is jeaulous, thats good, she can’t have expected that Tina remained single.
Good luck with getting your visa.
Yes, anger and tension. It’s gonna be pretty disastrous when it gets released all at once.
The road is not easy, otherwise, happiness is just cheap. I intend to let them have a few bumps down the road. And when they finally realize how much they love each other after all, it’s all gonna be worthy.
Thank you. You are very kind. I was lucky with my visa application.
Please continue to read my stories, and review.
Bette and Tina need to talk and work thing out, sad to see them like this
It’s sad. And unfortunately, I probably made it sadder in the next chapter.
But they’ll work it out. Have some faith! :)
I didn’t read your story in a while, but I’m glad to finally find the time to do it because I like it a lot ! My god … Bette can be such a b….
Anyway, post soon ;-)
Bette can be a little bit clueless. I know, because that’s who she is.
But she also has suffered much. It’s been eating her. Her life is a mess.
Thank you for catching up with my story and reviewing. I hope you’ll like the next chapter.
Im completely on Bette side in this. ..and just out of curiosity is this Yolanda the same as the one in therapy session on the show, Candice ex?
It is Yolanda Watkins. But I’m not including Candice in this chapter.
Don’t worry about her. She’s a teeny tiny little character in the story, and she’s not even going to have a line. :P
Bette seems like the loneliest person in the world, looks like walking dead from your description AND has some illness hanging over her, lol. Tina, on the other hand, has it quite good – she has her friends, Bette’s friends, Bette’s family, her douchebag father is still in her life, she has a kid AND, as we found out from the last page, she even had a girlfriend all this time (lol, not that heartbroken after all). She really messed up Bette’s life big time.
Hmmm, I see your point. But Tina’s story and suffering have not been exposed entirely, and I believe that it’s not as good as you think right now.
Both of the parts suffered. And they will have to work extra hard to mend their broken hearts, and find a new way to get along.
I will continue with exploring the truth, and fixing things up for them.
Thank you for commenting and please read more.
I hope Bette and Tina can have another honest conversation. No one can blame Bette for her anger, but she still doesn’t know exaclty what happened and how Tina never really betrayed her. After all, she never did anything to harm her or acted with ill intentions once she got to know her. Amazing story, I’ll be looking forward to the next post!
Thank you very much for the support.
Bette, poor Bette, she just couldn’t move on. She is stubborn, and that stubbornness is causing her trouble, her suffering. It’s a mistake on her part. And she is going to make more mistakes.
But eventually, eventually, Bette could always get around. Just hope that when she does, it wouldn’t be too late for them to start anew.
I wish you can continue to enjoy my story. :)
