Tammy Lynn Michaels, the former lesbian partner of Melissa Etheridge, has voiced on-going upset about the pair's split after they were briefly reunited, last weekend.
According to the Daily Mail, 37 year-old Michaels met with Etheridge in Los Angeles to share an afternoon with their five year-old twins.
They report that they met for lunch at Jerry’s Deli to present a united front for daughter Johnnie Rose and son Miller Steven.
But shortly after their reunion, Michaels took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share her apparent upset at the couple's separation.
She tweeted: ‘Sometimes you gotta plaster a sh*t-eating grin on your face for the sake of the kids.:-)" to her 1,400 followers.
But it is not the first time she has used the site as a sounding board. In 2010, Michaels claimed she found out about the relationship's end via newspaper headlines.
She wrote: ‘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."
According to reports, the couple are still in legal negotiatons over child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support and attorney’s fees.
Fifty year-old Etheridge currently features in the new issue of DIVA, which is on sale 2 February.
