However Helena could not understand why the link between the fruits and Tina was something to important as to have Bette so worried.

            Hellr… Henry wants Angelica to eat it, don’t know why, it’s something about making Angelica feeling older that what she is, so Tina wants me to feed Angelica with it…

            Helena was surprised If you don’t mind me asking, why does Tina wanted Angelica to feel older? I mean, kids grow up very quickly, I wish my kids were younger… what’s going on with her?

            Helena, if you want an answer, ask her yourself, Tina and I only have talks about diapers. I have no interests on what Henry wants me to do with my daughter… it’s my daughter and Tina’s, not Tina’s and Henry’s.

            Helena took a seat close to pool, took a deep breath and started talking, When Winnie and I were still married we have opposite points of view about small things such as food, clothes,… all that. When we divorced things were even worse, if possible. If Winnie said black, I said white, if she said yes, I said no… I become the bad mom, I did not realised that Winnie was a good mother and that I was being very childish not realising that my kids really depended on their mom as much as in me. One day I look my kids and I realised I didn’t want them to like me, I mean, distrustful, too much confident on themselves and giving to much faith to what money could gave or buy them. The most important thing was that I didn’t want them to spend the rest of their lives trying to get my approval in everything they did like I do with my mother. I don’t want my motherhood to look like my mother’s…

            Helena was sadly looking the pool and Bette realised that Helena was talking not only about Peggy but about Melvin, and she understood that Helena was right; she just wanted Angelica to be happy.

            Melvin’s theme is much more complicated than that Helena. I get used to do my best fill Kit’s place on my dad’s heart, and then as long as I always wanted to show him how good I was I gave him everything. I eve allow him to talk about Tina as Mrs Kennard… he didn’t even care about Tina’s miscarriage. It’s not easy to let old habits die…
