    Tipping point – Chapter 7

    “When did it become a crime to have a drink in this house?”
    Tina mused

    “A drink isn’t the problem, you know that.” Bette responded
    before drinking from her glass.

    “I thought you wanted to help.”

    “I do”

    “Then why are you giving me hell?” Irritation laced the
    blonde’s voice.

    “Because you’re not helping yourself right now.”

    “You don’t get it.”

    Bette bristled at the well-worn accusation that had been
    uttered so frequently in recent weeks.

    “How can I when you won’t tell me anything about what
    happened to you?”

    “Amazing how this always comes down to what I’m not doing.”
    Tina said with an incredulous look at her partner, “What the fuck do you want
    from me?”

    “I want you to care” Bette responded as she struggled to
    keep her tone in check “I want you to feel.”

    “Feeling isn’t the problem, I feel plenty.”

    “I want you to feel something other than terrified and angry
    all the time.” Bette corrected herself.

    “The medication is the only thing makes anything normal.”
    Tina stated.

    “It’s only masking everything that you’re not dealing with.”

    “Oh right, it’s that simple. I should have known that you’d
    have the answer, you always do, don’t you, Bette?”

    “Jesus, you’re so out of control that you physically abused
    our daughter and you’re behaving like you don’t care if you live or die. I
    don’t need a PhD in Psychology to see that this is a downward spiral and I’m
    fucking petrified of how it’ll end if you don’t get help.”

    “I never hit her.” Tina’s cheeks burned with shame at what
    had happened the day before.

    “At this point I can’t be sure that you’d even know if you
    had or that you’d be honest about it if you did.” The words were out of Bette’s
    mouth before she could stop herself.  Once said, all Bette could do was watch as
    Tina’s anger transitioned into hurt.

    “So I’m a compulsive liar now?” Tina’s eyes narrowed with
    disgust at the accusation.

     

    “I spoke with Sandy this afternoon.”

    Tina sighed heavily and chewed her lip “Fuck” she said quietly.

    “I know that you haven’t seen her in weeks.” Bette stated, “So
    I know that you did lie to me about that. What I don’t understand is why.”

    “It wasn’t worth the argument.” Tina shrugged, “Why would I
    want to give you another reason to be disappointed?”

    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.
