However, you kept me like a rabbit in a cage. Were you aware of this? You may have taken your inspiration from Le Petit Prince, but those are just stories. They are not operating instructions.

Sending me a few strings to translate so that you could PayPal me 10 or 15 bucks – or more – so that I could buy food, yes, that was very nice, but it also kept me trapped and isolated and controlled.

Can you see that?

The same went for the other things. You were keeping me alive – and isolated.

I’m not like a rose that you can cover and isolate in a glass globe.

This was “killing” me, so to speak.

I know you did your best. I think that you have little faith in humans and feel betrayed very easily. I found this a little worrisome.

I know that you often went into my flat to see whether I had food, but it wasn’t quite the only thing that you did inside my flat.

You mentioned “This is us” but those three siblings weren’t keeping one of them isolated from the rest of the world. Those siblings were living independent lives and making their own choices.

I have no interest in putting you in prison. I don’t hate you. I know that you often try to help me.

You cannot keep doing to me or to other women what you have been doing to me, however. Because it often makes us feel scared.

A true solution is needed. A true dialogue is needed.

What do you want from me? What am I to you?

The mother/wife stuff, for example, can you explain it to me?

(Is this about Dissociate Identity Disorder after all?)

No, I can’t and won’t just hop onto a random Flixbus. I’m not 23.

Yes, that WoningNet allocation was utterly disastrous. (It shouldn’t even have been possible, in my view. Baffling.)

Also, no, I wasn’t desperately looking for an ideal husband or whatever. I simply wanted to have a life again. The way I was living in Southampton, that wasn’t really what I considered “a life”.

Why did you start sending me all those fake projects in the end and taunting me about incoming payments going astray all the time? Why did you change my contact details at HMRC VAT services? That’s the imp’s doing, right?

Who is the imp?
