« My mother used, to punish me, not to speak to me for the whole days, and I felt perpetually under the threat of this silence. »

« I told Suzanne that Klaus `a friend` sometimes gets on my nerves, without me knowing why. Still, I love it. I always get for little things, and then I blame myself. He is full of good intentions, says he loves me and I know he cares a lot about me. Why am I so petty-minded? Why am I bothering about scraps? Why can't I be more generous? `...` I had written Klaus a long missive where I tried to say how bad I feel when he wants to dissuade me from my feelings `...`. `...` He didn't answer me right away. I was already apprehensive of his anger, his exasperation at my incessant ruminations, his rejection, but I still expected a reaction. Instead, after about eight days, I received a letter that absolutely stunned me. He thanked me for mine, but without a word about its contents. On the other hand, he told me about his holidays, his plans to hike in the mountains, told me about the people he dated at night. I felt the ground slip under my feet. `...` For the first time, I clearly realized that throughout my childhood I had known only this, this feeling of being destroyed in my soul. What was happening to me now with Klaus, who simply ignored my letter, was not a new experience. I've known that for a long time. `...` Anorexia kept saying, "I'm starving because no one wants to talk to me." `...` The more I see, through my memories, my father's behavior, the more I understand the origin of my attachment to Klaus and other friends of the same kind. »
