    Author Notes:

    “But Mama wanted to find herself and be whole again. That’s what she told me.” “Ang, I didn’t always let your Mama be herself.”  Bette blows out a long breath. “I wasn’t always a good partner or a wife.” “But Mom…” “No Angie, it’s not an opinion that’s up for debate; it’s a fact.” Bette

    “But Mama wanted to find herself and be whole again. That’s what she told me.”

    “Ang, I didn’t always let your Mama be herself.”  Bette blows out a long breath. “I wasn’t always a good partner or a wife.”

    “But Mom…”

    “No Angie, it’s not an opinion that’s up for debate; it’s a fact.” Bette stands and starts to pace. “Um… I… I had an… unusual upbringing. Some things that I never told you.”

    “Like what?” The teenager asks.

    “You never met your Grandfather Melvin, but if you had you would understand.” Bette begins to tell the story. “The way my Father raised me led to some of the… less than enjoyable parts of my personality. I can be controlling, opinionated, self-centered and a bombastic bully at times. I tried to be a better partner for your Mama because she deserved it… she deserves so much more and better… but I never dealt with some of my own shit.

    I continued to ignore it and as life went on and the years went by, the stress grew and so did my negative traits. I never told Tina to give up her work or goals, but my unwillingness to compromise or sacrifice my wants and my work forced her to sacrifice her own at times. She sacrificed everything so she could nurture our family and build us a beautiful and warm home; and I continued to neglect her and took her for granted.”

    Bette wipes her freshly fallen tears before continuing, her voice raw with emotion.

    “I’m sorry Angie; our family fell apart but you can’t blame Tina. She fell victim to my all-consuming selfishness at times. I didn’t mean it, but it came across that way. I would never deprive you or Tina of anything honey. Please believe that. But I didn’t give her everything she needed for herself. For her to feel valued and appreciated. She said I took up too much room and maybe I did.  And she needed to find her own identity. Be someone besides Bette Porter’s wife or be in my shadow. I see that now, but it’s too late. And because of that it makes sense that she couldn’t find herself with me.”

    “But you’ve changed Mom, you have.” Angie points out the ways that Bette had changed and become more tolerant. “You’re calmer now and caring and open and …”

    1. Happy Easter Lori ❤️

      This is exactly what i hope will happen in season two. Tibette back together.

      A amazing and honest conversation between Bette and Angie.

      Accepting that she played a role, through her upbringing by Melvin, and was therefore unable to give Tina the space she needed, the space to be herself. And has shown that she is able to change, to give space to others. And indeed Tina should have resisted and not choose the easiest way by separating from Bette and running away.

      It bothers me so incredibly that Gen Q chose this unlikely story. Bette & Tina had already shown this growth in their relationship in the OG. Anyway, luckily we have writers like you who straighten this out!

      Thank you for this way to short story!

      • Hey Bibi,

        Thanks for reaching out & Happy Easter to you too!!

        This shorty was originally part of the FMF story – but I eventually took a different direction with the novel & left Carrie out all together. So it’s been sitting in my FMF file on my laptop for more than a year. This past week with all the speculation about Tibette & GQ, just thought we all needed a more favorable ending to the BS.

        We may all have to escape to fanfiction to get positive Tibette stories since we cant seem to have that happen from Showtime.

        Take care

    2. Hey Collins

      Thanks so much for trying to make sense out of this senseless situation.

      Here we are in 2021 & are still in disbelief that this actually happened & is the storyline for this icon couple. Truly unbelievable.

      I don’t have much hope for season 2. Pray that we get a good cliffhanger for season 3 for Tibette!!!!

      I honestly don’t want tyo see either of them with someone else. It was hard to watch in OG & will be brutal now.

      Thanks for having their backs & I can always count on you for a Tibette endgame!!!

      • Hi Kira,

        I think our hearts & emotions are in turmoil over what may lie ahead for Tibette in GQ season 2. Not looking favorable at all.

        But, we’ll always have this site & some others to get our fix of happier Tibette stories.

        Thanks for checking in & continue to stay safe.

      • Hey Zhenya,

        Many of the writers on this site could do a much better job than the GQ writers & Marja !!! It’s not that hard to figure it out.

        All the GQ storylines are trash & so nonsensical.

        Keep praying for that miracle to happen.

        Thanks for reading!!

    4. Great chapter, Collins.

      Very nicely written and a direct message to Marja.

      Hope GQ will correct the wrong done.

      However I don’t think I will watch it, I prefer to read here the TIBETTE stories.

      Thank you for the chapter

      P

      • Hey P,

        If only Marja would listen – listen to anyone with a better ideas than her. God, its just so awful & we waited 10 years for this????? She should be ashamed!!!

        Looking forward to the continuation of your stories!!!

        Thanks so much for your support!!

    5. Collins

      Nice short. Any effort to fix this god forsaken situation is welcomed. So many possible stories they could pursue and they decide to do a divorce. I am still in shock. It amazes me when ppl say well life happens. Yes it does, but in the fictional world the writer chooses what happens.

      K

      • Hey SK,

        Thanks for checking out this short story. Just my take on how EASILY the mess of GQ could be fixed!!!

        Think we are all still in shock – especially after waiting & supporting this fab couple for over 10 years & to get this as their excuse for a reunion! Terrible story telling & they should all be ashamed – including Showtime for allowing it to happen.

        None of the storylines are believable – glad that Shane is rich & that Alice has her own show – but beyond that – highly questionable.

        Oh, and where are the other notables from OG?? – Non existent – that’s bad.
        And I’m not going to talk about the newbies – except Jordon Hall who did a fantastic job as Angie!

        Keep hoping & praying!!!!

        Thanks

    6. Agree that this could be a great way to explain the mess of this reboot. In many ways, I’m very disappointed with this series. It’s terrible in so many ways.

      Thank you for giving us hope and a possible solution.

      Really hope that JB and LuH will give us a Tibette endgame!

      • Thanks Leigh for checking in & reading this short story. Just a little bit of hope for this dismal storyline for all us Tibette fans!!

        Certainly hope JB & LH can savage something out of this mess for us.

        I want that endgame too!!!!

        Take care & stay safe in this crazy world.

        Collins
