Niall rubbed his neck
“I have thought about this a lot and with respect to all of you – its got nothing to do with any of you. What happens between Bette and Tina is nothing that has anything to do with any of us – none of us know what makes their relationship work because we do not know what they are like when they are alone. And that’s the case in any relationship you care to mention – and that’s certainly true of a couple that has been together as long as your mom and I . There have been times when it has actively saved our relationship because it’s a kind of release valve. What changed it – what did make it to do with our kids was when your mother took up with David – that made it Tina’s business and therefore it affected Bette who must have thought we were the family from hell. And because there were ramifications it also affected you two kids still at home. That was hard for all of us. I really wasn’t sure if Tina would ever come home again and I was angry that Sarah hadn’t hidden it better. But it came out and it hurt everyone. That was when I began to think that I had reached an age when I didn’t want to live the way we had been. As I said to Bette yesterday –there is no excuse for the appalling way that I handled things. I should have talked to Sarah and we could have split up without getting the three of you leaping onto a plane to come to Carolina because I was missing. The only explanation that I have was that I was a coward. Confrontation has never been my style – I don’t have the temper that Tina and Willow seem to have inherited from Sarah. I knew there would be a horrendous scene and I just couldn’t handle it. “
Niall took a sip of his coffee
“I know that all the four of you see is that Gemma is roughly the same age as Tina. I know that you all see her as a gold digger and someone who is just after a piece of the farm. I know all of this for certain because Bette told me very firmly what you all think and that it was my own fault for not talking to all of you when it happened. I should have called you Willow – I can see how angry you are. I didn’t need Bette’s warning that I might need a hard hat and shin guards. I don’t blame you Finn for taking a swing at me – that’s something I never thought that you would do and I drove you to it. I know how much I hurt Tina when we argued – Bette told me at great length the impact that’s had on her. I am sorry to all of you . I am not sorry for leaving your mother or for falling in love with Gemma but I have hurt all of you with how I have dealt with it. Gemma isn’t a gold digger – she doesn’t want my share of the farm. She’s independently wealthy and her family could buy the farm if it came on the market “

go to hell nial, i cant stand himmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This story feels like home.
Well at least he is being honest. Which is rare for a man :) well in most cases. My exhusband left me for another woman and has never been honest about it. But this story is being written but a woman and this is fiction :)
I don’t understand how Nialls can have this “my way or the high way” attitude. What if Sarah had died and they didn’t like who he remarried. Whould he deny them their only remaining parent? What if something happens to Gemma oar both Gemma and Adam. Would he still be okay with no contact from them. I think he owe them each time to come to grips with this. Finn and Tina have been given their time and respect of confrontation with him. Willow has not and deserves the same. He needs to realise or own up to the REAL fact that he actively chose to father all of these children and enter into the realtionship with Gemma. So now he takes the “That’s the way it is, so deal with it” attitude. I am letting the lawyer decide what percentage of the farm I desereve eventhough I walked away leaving it and Sarah high and dry. What if Sarah had been be fallen in a bad accident with little to no farm hands while he was off securing his new family. Forget parent, what kind of an adult are you teaching your children to be. He is still making a punk move here. Hde says that he is sorry, but it seems more that he is sorry that he got caught and everyone can deal with the reprecussions. Why? Because it’s like that and that’s the way it is.
Niall’s attitude is punk ass. Screw him. He’s acting so stupidly right now that he has NO clue of the suffering he will endure if his childre DO leave him because of the gauntlet he just threw down. Poor Bette, though…she will probably try to save his DUMBass again.
Everyone wants heaven but no one wants to die getting there. Niall is a creep and obviously only cares about his new family. I am surprised that a 26 year old wants this much older man. Daddy issues?
I agree with the girls today, Niall is a punk ass bastard and deserves nothing from the farm. He is right he is a coward and just sorry he got caught. Willow should jump across that table and deck him a good one and kick him in the balls so damned hard he is laid up for a month from it and everythime he coughs he sees a piece of them. Then let him see how much he can use them when he goes home to his little barbie doll. Thanks for posting. Congrats again.
I can understand the anger of the “children”. I can see the point that Nial is getting too…But i can’t see his real purposed on the farm?.. Did he want to diveded into four parts?…Did he wants to sale it?.. So he have something for his son and for Gemma?…This thing is got me thinking…WHAT IS IN HIS HEAD AT THE MOMENT?..Thank you, for posting again.
Excellent update. At least his honest. THank you again for this story.
I don’t think Niall has done anything wrong. He is being open and honest and it’s time for his adult children to act like the adults they are. In the end, while the relationship between their mum and dad affected the kids, the parents deserve to be happy too and they stopped making each other happy.
You know, I get that in his own way he is trying to explain the unexplainable to his kids … but if my father had said that to me, I would just tell him to go f**k himself.P.s. I love your stories!!!
WOW!!! Wrong move Nial!!! Thank you Great Chapter!!! PPS
nial says let the lawyers handle the details… HELLO… gemma and HER family are all lawyers… lets hope the kids all atand up and tell him to GO TO HELL… i agree with the others… i don’t like nial either… he is an ASS… a wimp… lets hope a nice young lawyes comes to work at her firm and turns her head… gee life with an OLD MAN with 3 adult children… or a nice young guy … hmmm no choice… have a nice life nial,…
Stupid move Niall! Don’t give an ultimatum to your kids, except my new family or else. I wouldn’t blame Tina, Willow and Finn if they said good riddance. PPS
Hey AllyE, That was a tough and yet rewarding chapter.I love that Bette managed to get the three Kennard kids to meet with their father and listen to his point of view. Yes, there were terse words however Niall will always be their dad so they all need to move past this betrayal and maintain a relationship as losing it would be so tragic for all of them.None of us is perfect and Niall is now trying to tell them about his reasons and feelings.It was so sweet that Tina happily shared her and Bette’s great news with him.I do still get the sense that Gemma is playing Niall however I hope I am wrong and that Tina, Finn and Willow accept their Dad’s new life and love.Ally, you provoke and discuss such difficult emotions with ease and good humor. I love it all.Thanks for sharing it with me.Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
