Melissa Etheridge files papers to terminate her domestic partnership with Tammy Lynn Michaels.
Melissa had told Oprah the split was mutual, but according to Tammy it was anything but.
Michaels has taken to her blog to blast Etheridge for basically leaving her high and dry.
“SMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
FILE FOR DIVORCE!!!!!!
even though we both promised
agreed
handshook
pinkyswore
no filing until after tour
in the fall
her broken promises
told to me by
headlines”
Melissa has 2 older children from a previous relationship. Tammy and Melissa had twins via artificial insemination. The twins were carried by Tammy. Michaels had to put her successful acting career on hold in order to tend Etheridge’s children while she toured. She continues on to vent on her blog.
“i gave up my managers, agents, contacts, all that good stuff, because i stepped directly into potty training a small boy, and carrying around a small girl on my hip. both excellent souls. and i was a very huge part in raising them for many many years while She with the Guitar focused on her Guitar.
the other week i had to borrow money from a friend. two weeks ago i had to scrape together $1.25 to pay for gas. i know she doesn’t want to give me money. trust. i’m borrowing cash left and right from people to get through this summer, and feed my kids, with a stomach full of ulcers, thank you. no stress here.
”
how’s that spiritual tour coming along?
so now…. to open the lap top…. and read the headlines…. when i just spoke to the fame crawler yesterday…. she could have mentioned it….. and hmmm…. wants some custody of kids…. interesting…. but no $ support for me… interesting as well…. so so so interesting, there, melissa. practicing what we preach is always hard for americans, i think. (is that why you and rick warren got along so well? ) oh, the nights of promises…. “tammy, if i ever leave you, it’s because i’m crazy, and you have to come find me and get me and save me!!! we have to be together forever!” (remember that one, lucky?)
Well, I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like a mutual break up to me! I feel bad for Tammy. She is very hurt. Hopefully they can resolve their issues for the sake of the kids.
