Resolutions
Monday, December 31, 2007
I get where Zach is coming from - I do. And our family is the most important thing in the world to me... But let me ask all of you a question. Have you ever resolved to do something - to make something right. I have so much guilt... for a lot of reasons - I just need to make things okay again. I can't let Greenlee take the fall for a setup I planned - especially not now - not after what Aidan and I... and Spike's hearing loss being genetic... not after everything we' ve all been through. So I have a new year's resolution I have to go through with - turning myself in...






Kendall,
I understand that you're being crushed by all the guilt, but you know what? Your "friend" Greenlee DID kidnap Spike! And she DID injure him! They had to repair that baby's spleen! He had internal injuries! She caused your premature labor to start again after they stopped it and Ian was born way too early and fought for months and is still fighting. Honey, don't beat yourself up so much! I know you feel guilty about Zach too and that's something you guys have to work out, but don't waste any energy on Greenlee. Know that EVERYONE still sees Greenlee for the selfish, destructive, blood-sucking piece of trash she is.

Kendall,
I know you are carrying around a huge amount guilt...but for once I have to agree with Greenlee. Don't do this for Greenlee because we all know she did take Spike that first time and has yet to be held accountable.

Kendall..My heart broke watching you being arrested and processed. I don't care how guilty you feel, you do not deserve this. Greenlee actually did kidnap Spike and finally did admit it today. She started this whole mess and is free and clear and you the real victim will bear the brunt of it. This is not justice. You really can't be held responsible for your actions. You have experienced one horrible thing after another for months until you finally broke. Your children were in one medical trauma after another, your husband missing and that real pain Aidan pushed and pushed until you believed Zach was dead causing you to have a breakdown leading to that stupid grief sex. That would be enough to cause anyone to feel guilty. You don't have to go to prison and be separated from your husband and children to make up for this. Let Zach try to help you find some other solution. Greenlee is not the innocent party in this. Don't let yourself be the scapegoat. You deserve much better.

Kendall,
Telling you not to feel guilty...especially not for Greenlee...is probably futile but please know you DO deserve all the love and happiness in the world with Zach.

Kendall,
Kidnapping a child is so much worse than anything that you have put Greenlee through...so quit carrying the guilt of the world on your shoulders. Shouldn't Greenlee do the right thing as well? Yet again you just proved that not only are you are a much better person but lovable as well...believe in yourself and in Zach. Your love can withstand anything.

Kendall,
Are you sure the guilt you are feeling is because of setting up Greenlee or because of what happened with Aidan? Confessing to Derek won't make any difference when it comes to your marriage. Sometimes it is hard to know what the right thing to do is...but I support you 100 percent. Just know that your love with Zach is still strong and that you can get through anything and this as well.

So, will you possibly going to jail, and leaving the family that you love so much, make you feel any better Kendall? Will that make up to Greenlee all the pain you've caused "her" (I'm being sarcastic here)? Kendall, Kendall, Kendall! Why is it that you listen to everyone else, except Zach? It doesn't matter how much the man tells you that he will fix something, you NEVER listen to him, or TRUST him enough to do so! I know that you are feeling guilty about having sex with Aiden, and you should, but the only way you will overcome that guilt is to be honest with Zach about it, and confess what you did, before someone else does!

I am sorry you feel so much guilt for setting up Greenlee. you would not have to feel this guilt if Greenlee would have came out and told that she did take Spike even if it was only for 20 minutes then she came to her senses and was returning Spike to you and Zach.

Please do not let guilt and regrets tarnish what you and Zach have together. You can not change the past as much as you would like too. Going to jail is not going to fix things it is only going to punish the ones you love - Zach, Ian and Spike. Always Only Us.

You do have so much guilt, and I hate it. You're feeling guilty for blaming Greenlee for Spike being deaf, when that's what doctors told you had happened. Why beat yourself up for something medical professionals had concluded to be true? You're feeling guilty about Aidan. Please tell your husband and end the "best friends" nonsense that the four of you have, so that Zach can begin to understand why you did what you did, and the two of you can heal and start to have fun.
You're a good person for turning yourself in, and your goodbye kiss to your husband was heartbreaking, but I miss the Kendall Hart Slater who was strong and fun, spontaneous and sexy, and right now, you're so consumed with guilt that I hardly recognize you anymore. I hope that changes soon.

Kendall, the first thing you must do is forgive yourself. You were protecting your children from a kidnapper. What parent wouldn't have done the same thing. Things cannot be made right until the 'real' criminal here, Greenlee, is brought to justice. If the authorities had the whole story, I doubt they would hold you responsible.There were extenuating circumstances.Your battered mental state could not take anymore.
There is nothing for you to feel guilty as far as Aiden and you are concerned. I am sure you stopped yourself just in time before Aiden continued to take advantage of an extremely distraught woman.Don't view what 'almost' happened between you and Aiden as a betrayal of Zach's love or for losing faith; it was a triumph of your strength and resilience. You are more than worthy of Zach's love and devotion and he of yours.

Kendall, I fully support you in what you are doing, you know that. I hope your guilt over this isn't making you confess for the wrong reasons. Your son was kidnapped and his kidnapper went unpunished. There's not a jury in the world that would convict you or not see your side, REGARDLESS. Please let Zach help you. Together, you two can do anything.

Kendall, I'm proud of you for wanting to do the right thing. But, your guilt clouds your vision.First, stop assuming ALL the guilt for everything that's happened. Remember how all of this started. Your so-called best friend used a painful and vulnerable time to take your child. That remains a crime, for which she has not been published. Nothing of any consequence happened between you and Aidan. You owe neither Greenlee or Aidan anything.
Zach loves you. You're together and can look forward to your life with your children. I applaud your need and desire to be honest. Be honest with Zach. Tell him what you need to; and face whatever with him by your side. He was gone for a month and back. Be the couple you are and ignore the selfish needs of others. Aidan is the selfish one, asking to lie to your husband and father of your children because he was a faithless (in the truest sense)coward and bully. He was not friend to you during that month, Kendall. You had a momentary loss of faith and hope. Aidan never really had it.
Remember Team Slater. You and Zach need each other to heal. 2008 will be a better year for the Hart Slater family.
You're Kendall Hart Slater, Erica Kane's daughter and Zach Slater's wife, a woman of strength and character. Don't let Greenlee or Aidan make you anything less.

You're doing the right thing, Kendall...with the Greenlee thing. However, do not ever...ever...ever speak of what happened with Aiden again. You never know who's listening and it's better forgotten.
After all, you don't what happened in that bomb shelter either...and would hold it against Zach or Greenlee. Probably not....
so....fa-get-aboud-it!

Kendall,
You are a much bigger person than Greenlee. I am very proud of you! You, Zach, and your boys are all that matter to me. The Slaters will only get stronger in 2008! My hope is that your family will have more then a moment's peace with a vacation or honeymoon thrown in! Team Slater is definitely magical and should be cherished!

Kendall: Listen to Zach. Greenlee is and has always been a selfish, spoiled brat. She hasn't come forward and taken responsibility for taking Spike. You don't owe her anything.
Aidan is being a complete jerk...so don't listen to him. Your husband is your best friend and will help you through this.
