Evelyn is pissing me off. Especially from that episode two days ago. We're all in the movie room watching the second episode and I want to jump through the tv. On the other hand my mother looks beautiful. She's wearing a yellow floral dress and it looks good on her.
"Who is that I don't like how she's talking to Mommy." Desiree said and I smiled. Evelyn and Mommy were going back and forth, again.
"That's mommy's mother but they don't like each other." My mother explained to her.
"Oh because she's with you?"
"Yes."
"Mm, she's just a hater that's all." We laughed and looked back at the tv. By this time, Mommy had calmed down and they moved to a different room. Iyanla said that it's the white table and they have to confess things. Things that they would like to just forget about and let go. Let's see what Evelyn and Michael has to confess.
"I'm confessing that I didn't give the emotional support that you guys needed from me when you all were younger." Michael said and I rolled my eyes.
"He should confess to something else." Skai said and I nodded.
"Would you also like to confess something to Toni?" Iyanla said and he shook his head. Oh— now why would she ask that question knowing his answer... messyyyy!
"Tamar."
"I'm confessing that... when I was about fifteen, I was touched by my mother's boyfriend... she didn't believe me at all so I felt alone. Toni was all the way in California, Traci and Michael had their own family, and Trina and Towanda were a bit far. I uh, I had to call Toni and she and Janet came to get me..."
What? Evelyn didn't believe her child? What is her problem? First, she disowns one of her children and then she doesn't believe her other one? She's a wicked woman.
"I'm sorry that happened to you. How did that make you feel?"
"I was angry, scared, hurt, I'm still hurt and I'm in disbelief at the fact that my mother didn't believe me and probably still doesn't."
"Is that all?"
"No..."
"Say everything, Tamar. Let it out."
Tamar's POV
"I'm angry at Toni and I shouldn't be... she just wasn't there to protect me like a big sister should." I know I shouldn't be angry at Toni but I just am.
"I'm happy that you came to get me when you did, I still love you Toni and I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too Tay but I understand your feelings and I love you too." Toni told me and I nodded.

We had long come back from Iyanla's house and I am just laying in the bed. I'm so drained from all of the crying I've done today. Evelyn didn't even try to apologize, I hate her so much now. I heard a knock on the door and I got up to open it. I didn't want to say come it and then it's Evelyn. I opened the door and saw Toni. I smiled and she smiled back at me.
"How are you feeling Tay?"
"Not good." She walked in and closed the door. I laid in the bed and she laid next to me.
"I'm sorry that you are or were angry at me. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most and if I could go back in time, I would." Toni said and I nodded. I laid on her chest and she rubbed my back as I silently cried. I'm still hurting on the inside and I'm even more hurt that Evelyn probably still doesn't believe me.
"It's okay Tay, it will get better. Not now but it will be soon..."
Janet's POV
I woke up feeling the pressure of my children on my body. We ended up falling asleep in the movie room after the show. Desiree is laying on my chest, King and Skai are laying on my thighs and Zee is laying on my legs. I have no idea how we got in this position but their heads are heavy. I grabbed my phone and took a quick picture of them. I saw a few missed calls and messages from Toni.
My luv 💗- Hey baby, I know you're probably sleeping so call me when you wake up. Love you 🩷
I'm going to give Toni a call after I get these children off of me. I moved Desiree into one of the chairs and then tapped the two children on my thighs.
"Skai and King, come on get up. Y'all heads big as fuck." I said and I heard King suck his teeth. I laughed and the two of them got up. I moved my foot and Azuree's head fell onto the floor.
"Oh shit."
"Ouch, momma." I heard her groan and I sat up.
"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to do that." I said and rubbed her head.
"It's okay." I kissed her cheek and got up from the chair. I grabbed my phone and headed into my room. I laid in bed and called Toni back. She answered after a first few rings and I smiled seeing her face on the screen.
"Hi baby, I miss you."
"I miss you too baby. How's your trip so far, besides what we've seen on the tv?"
She chuckled, "Good I should say. Evelyn hasn't tried to talk to me so that's good. Oh, the girls have been saying things to get under her skin."
"What are they saying?"
"The other day, we were talking about you and the kids and Tamar brought up how we didn't want to leave each other and how we were kissing each other. And while she was talking, she kept side-eyeing Evelyn, she knew what she was doing." I laughed and shook my head. I was about to respond when I heard a knock on the door.
"Momma, we made dinner." Desiree said and I nodded my head. She sat on the bed next to me and grabbed my phone.
"Girl—"
"Hi, Mommy. When are you coming back?"
"I'll be back in another week."
"Okay, I just miss you and that lady is making you mad. What's her name again momma?"
"Evelyn."
"Yes her. Momma said it's because she's with you so I said she's a hater."
"Yes, she is a hater, a big hater."
"Right, but I'm going back downstairs to eat. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay baby, I love you."
"I love you too Mommy."
