    Tipping point – Chapter 7

    “If you don’t want to see Sandy that’s ok but you need to
    see someone, Tina.” Bette’s tone left little room for negotiation.  “I told her what happened yesterday and asked her what she suggested we do.”

    “And?”

    “She thinks that some time in a residential programme might
    be the best choice.”

    “So you’re outsourcing me.” The disbelief was clear in Tina’s voice.

    “I’m getting you the help you need, the help you refuse to get yourself.” Bette responded, “This is me realising that I can’t give you what you need right now.”

    “And sending me away is going to achieve that how?”

    “By getting you professional support in a controlled environment, Tina. I thought we’ d be able to work though it but things just keep deteriorating. This is beyond me, it’s beyond us to fix on our own.”

    “So your big solution is to make me someone else’s problem?”

    Bette’s fist slammed down on the kitchen counter and Tina
    visibly jumped. “Give me a fucking break, Tina.” Bette yelled. The blonde
    appeared to be stunned into silence at the outburst. Bette closed her eyes and
    took a deep breath to calm herself before continuing, “My wife left on a
    business trip and nine days later I found her laying in a Malaysian hospital. I
    couldn’t believe how lucky we were that she’d survived and the injuries were
    relatively minor. She was distant, but that was understandable given what she’d
    been through. I thought that being home with her family and friends would
    resolve that, instead it made things worse. You want nothing to do with our
    friends, to say your indifferent towards Angie is an understatement and you
    look at me with utter distain any time I try to help you. We all love you,
    Tina, we all want you to be healthy, to be happy. I’m so scared that this will
    become so unbearable that you’ll take your own life.” Bette blinked back the
    tears that stung in her eyes, Tina said nothing. “The treatment program is four
    weeks, it seems to me that there’s little left to lose and the rest of your
    life to gain.”

    “And if I refuse to go?” The blonde was relentless in her challenge.

    Bette moved to the bookcase in the lounge room and pulled a
    large photo album from the bottom shelf. Retracing her steps she placed it on
    the counter in front of her wife.

    “Look through this, remember who you were, who we were and
    how much love there was in your life. If you won’t do this for who you are now,
    then I hope you’ll think about doing it because of who you were before you went
    on that god forsaken trip and how much love you had for the people in your
    life.”

    Bette walked away from her wife knowing that it was up to Tina now to make her choice.

    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.
