Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 "Yeah, I guess it was just my anxiety painting things in a negative light. Sorry for insinuating that your boyfriend was a psycho." I'M the only mental case around here. Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 "Don't worry. You're a bright girl and I understand you completely. I see where you're coming from. Not all men are monsters though" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah, just the ones in MY life it seems. "So what should we do now?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 "We still need to discuss this. And Dan has told me things as well. But I do think you need to tell your parents. Even after everything you've told me" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 "I know. And I will. There's no use in hiding it any more. Besides, I think Dan is letting them know what's going on anyway at his meeting with them." Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (maybe Dan is meeting with the parents at this moment?) "You need to tell them what you've told me and Dan, they'll understand. I know when I told my parents, they came round to the idea soon enough, and that's how I met Dan, partly because I had a breakdown and got into a lot of trouble in my youth" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 (I kinda thought that was the plan.) I hold up my hands in surrender, "You don't have to convince me, Lily. I'm already on board." I lower my hands when I realize that they're still shaking. Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (OK) Dan meanwhile had gone to visit the mother of Myrtle as she wanted to see how she was getting on "So, Myrtle is progressing well, she finally had a breakthrough last night, she told me about her past and how she got into all of this trouble. But if I am being honest, you should let her tell you herself, but I don't want you to be harsh on her, she's had a tough few years. Give her a chance to explain, and erm, did you know she has anxiety?" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Pamela--Myrtle's step-mother--scoffed, "Anxiety? Everyone has anxiety! It's impossible to live in this world without anxiety unless you're mentally retarded!" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looks at you "she's had a few wobbles with her hands and a few breakdowns, I thought you'd be a bit more calmer and respectful towards your stepdaughter, she's been through a tough time, and you need to listen to her. she hasn't had it easy, I listened to her, and she poured her heart out to me, and I really felt for her" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 "Oh please! That child has had everything handed to her on a silver platter since the day she was born! What kind of sob-story did she invent for you?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looks at you "she didn't. And I think you have no respect for Myrtle. You're her step mother. Maybe if you listened to her more you'd get the truth. Maybe you need to think about your attitude and winder why she's playing up. It can't be easy for her that her parents split up" He leaves her. Not happy with her reaction and wants to talk to Myrtles birth mother and father without the stepmother being there. Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 As you get up to leave Richard--Myrtles father--walks in. "Ah! I didn’t know you'd arrived, Dan. How's Myrtle doing?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looks at him and then at his wife "could I please speak to you alone" whispers "Away from your wife" Once alone, I tell him what's happened and hopes he's more sympathetic Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 (I'm going to assume you said the exact same thing you started with Pamela to him:) 5 hours ago, Danny said: "So, Myrtle is progressing well, she finally had a breakthrough last night, she told me about her past and how she got into all of this trouble. But if I am being honest, you should let her tell you herself, but I don't want you to be harsh on her, she's had a tough few years. Give her a chance to explain, and erm, did you know she has anxiety?" "Anxiety? No, I didn't know anything about that. Is it serious?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 "Well. Her hands shake and she starts to have breakdowns. She has had a few events happen to her that caused her to act up. She got bullied by her ex boyfriend. And he did things to her that she didn't like. And erm. He wouldn't stop when she asked him to. I can't say the word though because it's one of the most horrific things to happen to someone" "I would suggest you come with me and talk to Myrtle. Not with Pamela. Myrtle needs her daddy. If I'm being honest, Pamela doesn't show any affection towards your daughter. I would put your daughters life first" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Something suddenly clicks for him. "Wait, are you saying me daughter was raped?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looks at you and nods "yes. By her ex boyfriend. She's confided in me and I feel you ought to know because I know you love her lots. She was worried about what you might say. But when you talk to her, please don't mention that I've told you already" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 His emotions are indesernable. "Could you wait here one moment?" He walks into another room. You hear the sound of glass shattering and furniture breaking. Pamela "Richard! What the hell-" "Pamela SHUT UP!" more glass breaking. He comes back in, leaning against the doorway with an sorrowful expression on his face and a single tear running down his cheek. Link to comment
Danny Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I look at him "Now you know the horrible truth. Your daughter needs you. Can I ask, was it Pamela who put her on my programme or was it yourself? I know this is hard for you. Your daughter needs you more than ever now. She still has some behavioural problems which I am addressing. Would you like to see her?" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 He nods "Pam said she knew a good rehab facility. I was out of town until last night, so I let her handle it." "And yes, I'd very much like to see her. I'll follow you in my car." Link to comment
Danny Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looks at you "Pamela hasn't shown a lot of respect towards me. I don't think she likes your daughter very much. In my honest opinion, I think she's trying to make it so you never see myrtle again" I look at you "my girlfriend is with her right now. She's had a similar experience to Myrtle and has completed my programme" the Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 "Pamela is... not the warmest person. She and Myrtle never really hit it off. I always chalked it up to just the fact that she's not Myrtle's mother. But I'll have a talk with her." "Wait, you left my daughter with your girlfriend? Isn't that a little... unprofessional?" Link to comment
Danny Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I sigh and turn to you "its not like that. My girlfriend had a similar experience to your daughter. They're talking about it. I am hoping that it'll help her. It will help her confide in someone who knows what it's like. My girlfriend was on my programme when I first started doing the programme" "I understand you feel like you're stuck in the middle but at times like this, you need to put myrtle first. A girl always needs her daddy" Link to comment
Wannatripbaby Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 He slowly nods his head. "I'll admit, I was never the best father..." he stops, too choked up with emotion to continue that thought. He takes a deep breath to steady himself. "What do I need to do?" Link to comment
