It was really frustrating to go through the whole legal process again, but my husband finally went to jail for attempted murder, and I got my divorce – full custody of Angelica, which hardly came as a surprise.
As for my husband, it turns out that after the years he had been in prison for attempted murder, he wasn’t the same raging lunatic after all. He never attacked me again. We arrange for him to meet with Angelica and myself – solely for Angelica’s curious interest – but Bette remained the entire time, arms crossed and glaring angrily toward him. If you ask me, I think she wanted an excuse to beat the living shit out of him.
He didn’t see Angelica much, and with good reason. I was just glad that she wasn’t completely cut off from her father, as distant as her relationship may have been, and also infrequent.
I thought I handled the communication relatively well, although Bette was suspicious of any of his motives to see either myself or Angelica. I had seen the switch in his composure all that time ago, but she didn’t ever understand it.
A therapist I had seen shortly after the incident explained his confusion and the change in his eyes. She did so by referring to the fact that I had finally been ‘insubordinate’ to him, although the idea of being ‘subordinate’ originally was upsetting, I must admit. It was in the fact that I didn’t run, but told him off and defended myself with equal aggression. There were so many reasons for his realizations, but I’m just glad that I didn’t have to die for him to see the harm he had caused.
It took a lot of talking and a lot of writing to overcome my fears and concerns regarding my horribly failed marriage, but Bette was there for me through it all. Even if Angelica needed to talk, she was there. And if Bette needed to talk, I was there. Our system of support worked wonders when Bette was having problems at the gallery, or even when I finally started writing full time. We had become a family that understood its dependency of support and trust, and also, we cherished humor. Laughter often got us through rougher times, or even stressful periods in our lives.

You have to stand up to abusive partners whether it’s physical or verbal abuse in order to reclaim your life. Excellent story. I can’t wait for another one from that fertile imagination of yours.
At times I was so afraid for Tina and Angelicabut I’m extremely happy that she finally stood up to him. Most abusers are cowards and don’t know how to handle a woman that fights back, it throws them off their game. Angie was very brave to call the police, so proud of her for doing so. And Bette, well, she is just the greatest ever. It’s a good thing Bette was not there because she would have killed him and he well deserved it. I think though that Tina should have asked Angelica if she really wanted to visit with him after what she witnessed, I wouldn’t think she would want to see him except to spit on him. I never understood how he found them to begin with and when he caught her in the grocery store, it was obvious that he had been stalking them. It was a great story nevertheless. Thanks for bringing it to us.

That was just a wonderful story. Hard to read and I’m sure harder for you to write but you did such a damn good job. Thank you.
As difficult as some parts of this story was to read, I truly loved how you showed the growing relationship between Bette and Tina/Angie and Bette. The journey may have been hard but the destiny(nation) was worth it.
