    Tipping point – Chapter 7

    Bette arrived home to find Tina channel surfing on the couch
    and offered a silent thank-you to the heavens that she didn’t have to go back
    that god awful bar near the studio and fish out her wife.

    “Hi” Bette offered over the TV as she close the front door.

    “Hey” Tina responded, her eyes never leaving the television
    as she scrolled through the on screen guide.

    Bette moved to place her bag on the dining table along with
    her keys and kicked off her shoes. The last thing she felt like doing was
    starting a conversation that would almost certainly lead to an argument with
    her volatile partner. Then again, little had been about what Bette wanted or
    needed in the last couple of months and if this was the conversation that
    needed to happen to start to get their lives back on track, then it wasn’t
    something she was going to shy away from.

    “Tina, we need to talk about where we go from here.” Bette
    said as she moved to the kitchen.

    The blonde shifted uncomfortably at the comment but continued
    to stare at the TV, offering nothing in return.

    “I’ve let this situation run thinking that time was what you
    needed to get back to who you were. The last day has shown just how much I
    underestimated what you’re going through and I’m sorry for that.”

    Tina started to play with the hem of her dark green hoodie,
    offering no acknowledgement of the apology.

    “Last night I promised to find a way through this and I
    asked you to trust me.”

    Tina used the remote to turn off the TV. She stood and
    walked to the opposite side of the kitchen and sat on one of the stools. Her
    expression was unreadable, all the brunette could see was the exhaustion that
    had been evident for so long that it felt like a permanent part of who Tina was
    at this point.

     “What makes you
    think, you could possibly know what I need?” Tina asked in an even voice as she
    looked Bette in the eye.

    “I don’t know what hell you went through that did this to
    you, you’re right, I wasn’t there, I can’t possibly get it.” Bette admitted, “I
    do know that taking anti-anxiety pills like they’re candy then washing them
    down with vodka isn’t the solution to all of this.” Bette turned to retrieve a
    water jug from the fridge and poured herself a glass.

    1. Damn, that was very difficult. Tina is so afraid that if she talks about all this and crying and such that she will never be able to forget it or get it behind her. Simply, she is terrified and I guess I would be too but, she needs to get the help she needs. Bette bringing the photo album to her may be a catalyst to get her into treatment. Great update. Thanks.

    2. I love this story so much.. i staryed readinf prev stories of yours i just finished reading if it makes you happy. Now im start if you break it replace it.

    3. Hope that Tina does give herself a chance. I hope she finds herself again. It can’t be easy but she has to start somewhere. What she’s doing right now isn’t working. I’m so invested in this story. LOL. Thanks for posting HG.

    4. Bette’s fears are valid. I hope Tina does at least see that she can’t continue on as she is. Whether she gets the help she needs is another thing. Thanks for the post, HG!

    5. Mental illness in many ways is more difficult to deal w/than physical impairment. Excellent approach used by Bette. Hopefully it will move Tina to action.

    6. I’m nervous for them. I hope Tina remembers the love they share. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it shows strength to admit that she can’t do it on her on. She’s going to need every bit of strength Bette has to help deal with whatever it was she went through during that business trip.
