RE: Das Buch, das noch geschrieben werden muß - geht weiter! / The book that still has to be written - continues!
Thank God, u didn’t end your life…
When we got out of the car, we found ourselves in a barracks of the NVA (National People's Army)
But your mum, where is she in the picture?? Doesn’t she try to intervene when your dad makes some decisions about you?? Because every mum would try to protect their children from brutal dads..
No. She gave birth to me. That was it. I experienced her as cold and unapproachable and as... disturbed. Today I realise that this perspective was also limited and the big picture was somewhat different. At the time, I didn't have the impression that she played any other role in the family than that of a decoration.
That’s really too bad… who knows if she was also scared of your dad as well… you were much younger, you might not have paid attention to that area.
That's exactly the point: I've got to know this much later.
