“Used to work?” The doctor raised her eyebrows.
“Bette got fired, and at her father’s funeral, of all places,” Tina told her.
“So she lost her father and her job one right after another? And that left you with having to take on her burdens as well as your own,” Dr. Lowenstein mused.
Tina shook her head. “No, Bette has her own problems. They weren’t mine.”
Dr. Lowenstein had an amused smile on her face. “Tina, in any relationship, the other’s burdens become your own, and vice versa. It’s all part of a partnership.”
“You’re right,” Tina realized slowly. “Her problems automatically became mine, too.”
“And something tells me you kept quiet about your own problems, yet continued to carry the combined weight of both your problems on your shoulders alone. Am I right?”
Tina’s silence confirmed the doctor’s theory. After a moment, Tina decided she’d better try to explain. “Wait, it’s just that Bette – “
“Has a Type-A personality and likes to be in control?” the doctor finished for her.
Tina bit her lip. “Not quite what I was going to saybut it’s true.”
“Tina, my advice to you is to with that situation: get a hobby. It may sound funny, but you need to find something to do that is completely apart from Bette and will allow you to relax. And from now on, speak up for yourself. Don’t let Bette take over. Now, moving on, obviously you and Bette reconciled. Tell me about that.”
“We tried dating briefly, but I wasn’t sure what to do. After Angelica was born, it just seemed right to try being back together. At first it was forced, until we actually sat down and talked about what happened. Bette broke down and cried like I’ve never see her do before. When she explained everything to me, I just sat there and stared at her and realized that I really couldn’t imagine living another day without her. That was when we decided that we were going to try and make it work this time.”
Dr. Lowenstein smiled encouragingly. “You two talked about your issues, which is very good to hear. Now, can you tell me about the earthquake?”
