Chapter 5 – The Dinner with the Gang
Tina: Oh, God no! We have not discussed Carrie or my relationship with Carrie or even the engagement. We discussed sex and having sex for the first time, and we discussed the limited time in the upcoming year. I did get her to promise to keep some time to be with you and me as much as she could reminding her that it would be her last year of high school. I told her that there would be many things she would want to participate in, and we wanted her to experience but we needed to be kept informed of her schedule so we could squeeze in some family time.
Bette: Thank you, Tina. I’m glad you told me that. This time with Angie is going to be far more important to us than it will be to her. But when she has children of her own, perhaps she will see just how important the time spent with the parents is.
Bette: Okay Tina, if you are sure this is what you want to do and you have come to this decision without mine or Angie’s influence, then we will support you in your decision. We will do what we can to ease your discomfort and hurt from this. But Tina, if you are not sure that this is what you want to do, you CAN change your mind right on up to the moment you tell her it’s over. Once you say those words to her, you will never be able to take them back. And whatever you do say to her needs to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And I recommend, that you do everything in your power not to allow her to accept any of the blame for this break up. If this is something you want and you are instigating, for your own reasons, then you have to accept the responsibility for it. It will not keep her from hurting, but it may allow her to heal faster and get on with her life.
Tina: Sounds like the voice of experience.
Bette: It is – Alice and Jodi. With Alice it worked okay. With Jodi, well she was a bit vengeful. And there was Felicity Adams. I guess the jury is still out on that one. It’s only been what a month and a half.

Hey Martha,
I’m very happy with the quick updates! And you post them right after my work, coincidence?
Tina has seen the light thanks to Angie and her response about Tina’s and Carrie’s engagement.
I’m happy that Tina takes responsibility for her actions and will look for a therapist to really work through her issues and as result will be happy with herself again, with or without Bette and a possible relationship.
Very wise of Bette to not give in or give Tina a definitely answer about her question if she wants to be in a committed relationship again. Tina has to show due to her actions she can be trusted and show that she really wants to be with Bette and not run away when they hit a rough pad.
Tina does the right thing to break it of with Carrie regardless of she will have a relationship again with Bette.
It was a good conversation between Bette and Tina, let’s see if they can work it out.
But first a family weekend in Big Bear, a moment to connect as a family again.
Bibi,
Thanks for the comment. Tina has done some thinking, and she is at least saying the right things. Now let’s see if her actions reflect her words. Yes, a family weekend at Big Bear Mountain.
Personally, I like that Bette is being an observant mom to Angie. That is one of the little things that I wanted to show in Bette. She knows her role as mom, and she see things which non-moms don’t see. A subtle reminder that Tina has not been around, and Bette has.
As to my posting schedule? I am on east coast of US. I presume you are in Europe somewhere. I have no idea what your schedule is, and my schedule is so sporadic that all of this is really coincidence.
I do appreciate you posting a response…. makes my day and my week and even my month.
I live in Europe, good guess!
Bette is an amazing Mom, knows her daughter really well.
It seems Tina is seeing the light and the errors of her ways ….. and starting to do something about it !!
It will be a long road! Bette needs to be sure, I don’t think Tina realised until now the devastation she caused Bette and Angie. Slow and steady, with full and openness to both is what Tina must concentrate on now. She will get there, she is so determined but it will take time. Therapy seems a good way to start so she can reevaluate her actions and the consequences. I do fell sorry for Carrie, she’s done nothing wrong but fall 8n love with a woman who’s still in love with her ex! That’s life but she doesn’t deserve the heartache that’s coming her way. Going to read on now !
Thankyou Janice
Sometimes, people are just blind to the effect they have on others. And of course, when people never deal with each other, there is no way to see what is going on with them.
Carrie too is a victim in this story. But you are right, people do not always get what they deserve, and life is often not fair. However, Tina would be doing Carrie wrong to continue her relationship with her knowing that Bette is whom she loves. Carrie deserves someone who loves her as much as she loves them and that will never be Tina.
Thanks for reading and for commenting….
