Listen
for the change in Debbie's voice in the stanza indicated in
boldface.
Debbie:
And .. you know,
I've
had this, this fam-, this other family.
There's
my family --
It's
all my family,
which
always included his family as well -- his brother, his sister,
and
it's as though .. that's gone, y'know.
Therapist:
So, you've lost more than just him.
You've
lost, sort of, his brothers and sisters --
Debbie:
Yeah, that's what I feel
Therapist:
-- who were
like friends of yours, I mean.
Debbie:
Well, his sis--
I've
never,
I've
never really got on well with his mum and his sister.
Because
-
So
that's not so much of a loss as, uh,
she's
won.
She's
finally got what she wanted,
which
was, she wanted him back --
and
she wanted him away from me, basically.
That's
how I feel.
Whether
that's how she feels,
but
that's how I fe--
y'know,
and
this sort of thing's really been getting worse, y'know.
It's
getting more mad, I think.
And, um, I still keep in touch with his other brother's wife. . . .
