Part 2: Mothers, Daughters and, Oh Yeah.. Fathers, Too

I'm trying to decide just how much my ex, Brenda, had to do with what happened to us on March 19th. What is interesting to me is that I know she exchanged numbers with Denny Bucci in the parking lot of the place we normally go to pick up Ilona. When I asked her about this via email, she said something to the effect of "I don't have time for all this drama."

One of the facts I've not mentioned before is that Ilona was in the car with Nicolle when the accident happened. Ilona broke her back in two places and had to have rods inserted. After I found out about the accident and was on the way to the hospital, I called Brenda and she told me that I wasn't welcome there. I told her I was coming anyway, and when I got there I was met by three security guards who asked me if I'd been drinking. I told them "NO, I HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING, MY DAUGHTER IS IN THIS HOSPITAL, AND I WANT TO SEE HER NOW. PLEASE." I'm certain this was something Brenda put them up to.

If you're still not convinced Brenda would be above something like this, consider this excerpt from an email she sent to Nicolle while she was in Methodist after the accident:

"I really have not been in contact with Tim and I really don't want to be. Ever. He told me he was kicked out of your hospital, and I just had to laugh about it. I'm sorry! I am cruel, but I can't help it. I wish he would leave us alone."

Incidentally I was kicked out of the hospital because someone from Nicolle's family, who was able to afford a room on the premises, told security that I tried to climb into bed with Nicolle while she was in CCU. I was sleeping on a couch in the lobby at the time, because, well.. our car had been totaled and I had no way to get home. And, no... I never tried to climb in bed with Nicolle in CCU. What I did do is lean over and kiss her forehead. I couldn't kiss her lips because of the tubes coming out of her mouth.

Still, I'm not sure about Brenda's involvement. Ilona loves her mother, and even if I thought Brenda was involved with the "throw Tim in jail" plot, I wouldn't pursue anything against her because it would take Ilona away from her mother. But, at this point I just don't know.
