“This hero? Who is it?”
“My father.”
“I see. You mentioned that you have an excellent relationship with him, but you hadn’t had the opportunity to tell him about the recent events in your life.”
“No, I hadn’t. Today, I saw him. Briefly. He was in between flights and we met for iced teas at a hotel.” Bette filled her in on the conversation, no longer crying as she told her just how devastated she was by his words, by his behavior.
“It’s unfortunate that he treated you this way. I’m sorry, Bette.”
My…my sister can’t get along with my Dad. They’re like oil and water,” Bette said in a whisper. “According to Kit, he’s judgmental; that it’s his way or the highway. But I love Daddy.”
“He’s been judgmental with you. His response today was judgmental. Have you had other situations like this with him in your past?”
“A few. He treated Tina badly the last time he was in town. The three of us went out for dinner. Tina told him about the baby and the donor and he just got weird. He implied that she was racist, saying that she thought all African-Americans were interchangeable. He said he wouldn’t accept our child as his grandchild because it was biologically impossible.”
“How did that make you feel?”
“Hurt. Sad.”
“And Tina?”
“She excused herself. Went home.”
“And what did you do?”
Bette stared at the floor. “I stayed with Daddy.” She looked up and into Suzanne’s eyes. “My father was in his forties when I was born. He’s from a different time. I don’t expect him to understand everything. He’s come a long way; he accepted Tina and me as a couple.”
“Did he?”
“He was as comfortable with it as he could be. We didn’t flaunt our relationship around him.” Bette remembered how she had easily and without thought taken Tina’s hand at dinner, but her father’s look of disapproval caused her to slink away from the minor display of affection.
“So Tina tells him that the two of you are enlarging your family and he insults her. After she left, what happened?”
