They've Taken My Life

Publisher Description

I’m treated as if I was a bloody animal, or something. Never done anything, in my life. I might as well be dead. There’s no freedom. Where is my bloody [? life]?
[You're in a care home.]
I don’t need to be in a care home. I’m a very capable person. I sometimes think I’d be better off dead.
I do love you. I can’t work it out. I’m worried about it. You don’t know what’s going on. I love you, but I don’t know what’s happening to my life. I don’t know what I’ve done.
[The council put you in a care home.]
Oh, I’m in it? I thought I was in a golf club. They’re all sitting about as free as [? bods] I just can’t work it out, because I’m a nobody. It’s mystifying. I’m unsettled and unhappy and suicidal.
Don’t worry, sweet-heart. I’ll always love you, with all my heart. You’re the reason I want to live.
It makes me think I’ve done a wrong doing. I’m so heart-broken. It sounds as if we’re being used. -- As if we are puppets. I feel as if I want to die. It’s absolutely terrible. Nobody knows… I haven’t got a proper life. It isn’t right, and it’s hard to live with. I can’t settle down. – Even sitting down. I’m bored. I’ve nobody to talk to, of home. Isn’t it silly?
And I want to be with my son. Why not? He’s not going to hurt me? I love my son. I love him best in all the world. I think it’s like a foreign country, where you're locked up, and can’t get away. I’m sat in here, for hours. I’ve no one to talk to. I’m very worried about it.
This country neglects the elderly. (I want you back home.)
That’s my house. I bought it and saved, all my life, for it. You’ve told me how it stands. I know. I don’t want you to get hot under the collar about it. Nobody wants to help. They're the boss. I love you with all my heart, and I worry about you, because I love you so much. It’s wrong, isn’t it?
Don’t try to anticipate…
I’ll keep it to myself, and my son, who I love with all my heart, and I’m sorry for all this trouble. But I never caused it. I just do the best I can.
Same here.
You are my best loved person. My heart is beating. I want to be there, and touch you. And be together, all we want. That’s all I’m asking for. I want to be with my son. I don’t care about possessions. And I got that little house, so me and you could be together. And all I get is trouble. And we aren’t causing any trouble. It’s just selfish.
Don’t meet trouble half-way. [Ella is too right, tho. Ed.]
I just want to be with my son. I want, most of all, to be with my son. All my life, I’ve waited for this time to be together. I don’t want money or treasures. I just want to be living with my son. I have nothing.
It’s all a puzzle, and a fraud, I think. And all this other stuff is just a twist. -- Wanting this, and wanting that, and sharing up other peoples work. It’s fraud.
I love you, darling. I love you with all my heart.
