    New York Minute – Chapter 26

    “You are less at war with yourself. I think it was Shane who said you know if Bette liked herself as much as everyone else she would be so much happier. I do see how different you are – I am in love with you remember – I love this newer, softer Bette and so does Angelica “

    The old Bette kept so much bottled up, this Bette did talk more freely about her feelings – Tina thought that was much healthier for Bette and also for their relationship.

    “I think its an amazing tribute not just to the human spirit and to your spirit that you don’t hate me “

    “How could I – its you – its always been you “

    “And you don’t get angry that I kept Angie from you ?”

    “No “ Bette said honestly “You did what was right for both of you. Until three years ago I would have been a terrible partner and mother. You gave me more second chances than I deserved. In the end you have to let someone sort out their own crap for themselves – that was what happened. I needed a lot of time on my own to sort out what a mess I was “

    “Can I ask something ?”

    “Sure “

    “Do you drink because you genuinely have no interest in it any more or is there another reason ?”

    “Stopping the wine and the whiskey was the first step – well it was the most significant step I guess. Me drinking again would be bad because there’s no guarantee that all the illnesses I suffered wouldn’t happen again. I really got close to the edge Ti – staring at your own mortality really is something I would recommend against. And to do it because of your own self destruction is very difficult. I was violently ill because of my own arrogance. That’s what it boiled down to . I wouldn’t admit how much I was floundering when you lost our baby – I couldn’t hold my hand out to the one person who I knew was there for me – my wife –the woman I had shared my life with. I couldn’t show you weakness even though you had always taken care of me the rare times that I had shown you my weak side in the past. Everything else stems from that one moment when I couldn’t cry in front of you – I couldn’t mourn our son to the one person who shared my hurt “

    1. bette really had changed and their relationship is strong enough to survive, time for their friends to accept this…thanks for taking time and posting

    2. Thank you for all the updates, especially this one. NYM is still my favorite out of all of them. I can’t wait to see how Bette handles all her detractors left in CA! Have a fun break.

    3. That wonderful that Bette is going with Tina, I was hoping she would when Tina first said she had to go to LA. I’m still very surprised that Kit has turned her back on Bette and for what reason. Bette didn’t do anything to harm her when she was there for the wedding, unless helena has said something to Kit. At any rate as Bette said, they can all go to hell. She has her family and that is all that is important. One thing I think they should do is tell Angie that Bette is her mother before they go to LA or someone, (Alice), might do it for them. Thanks for posting one of my very favorite stories.

    4. I am so loving this story!!! I am glad Bette and Angie will go with Tina to LA. It is so the time for Bette to put Kit, Alice and Jenny in there place. Thank you Ally!!!! Have alot fun on your holiday.

    5. I want to thank you for updates on all of your stories today! You will be missed but I hope you get the break you need and come back in September with a renewed spirit of excitement. Enjoy your holiday.

    6. GO BETTE! Go go get it, get it, you don’t want to quite it, quite it. It’s you Birthday, it’s your birthday, or should I say Rebirthday. Handle your business.
