I got on my side and watched my little girl sleep while Bette got behind me and draped her arm over my waist to take Angelica’s tiny fingers in her hand. “She was a brave little girl today. She called the police for you, you know? And she called me after she said he was on top of you, and you two were fighting … I couldn’t breathe when she said that.”
“But I’m okay,” I smiled, rubbing my face on her pillow as I felt her kiss my shoulder. We would talk about it in-depth once we had privacy. I would ease her guilt, and she would comfort me from the pain of my memories, but we were laying together with Angelica. Whether she was asleep or not didn’t matter – Bette and I were careful, and quiet instead.
Bette was the first to speak up again. “It takes a brave girl to run from her dad and to call for help.”
I smiled. “She kicked him, too.”
Bette’s pride was decorated with quiet laughter. “That’s my girl.”
I was touched that she spoke of Angelica that way. “She really was brave, but that scream … god, Bette … I think it’ll haunt me forever.”
“How much of it do you think she saw?” Her voice was so cautious.
“I mean, she’d seen him hit me before, but I think she knew how serious it was this time … she saw him on top of me … strangling me.”
Bette sighed, and I knew she was angry at him, but she wouldn’t take it out on me. She just softly ran her thumb over the back of Angelica’s baby soft hand. “Tina … if I could have been there …”
“I needed to face him,” I whispered, closing my eyes to the truth of that statement, “And I’m glad you didn’t get the chance to … K-I-L-L him, because I really believe you may have.”
Her silence was confirmation of the fact, and we both knew it.
“Bette … I don’t know what I would do if you … if they took you away from me. I mean, I understand your anger, but …”
“It would have been self defense,” she answered almost immediately, and I had to smile at the confidence in her voice. She was so good to me, and so incredibly protective of both me and my little girl. And as the days passed, Angelica seemed more and more like our little girl. It was a change that was adapted to so fluidly I hardly even remember when those lines were blurred – when she called Bette ‘Momma’, and ran to her for little scratches and interesting stories from school. I always nurtured their relationship as best I could, while forever remaining ‘Mommy’ in Angelica’s eyes.

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.

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.
