Under a victim's concern for the abuser is a terrible fear of being without someone who needs you, of being lonely and lost.
“You lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world that’s inside you.”

“I didn't go to bookshops to buy. That's a little bourgeois. I went because they were civilized places.
