AUGUST 2002

EMMA—22 YEARS OLD

My mother was really pissed, threatening to throw me out if I can’t pay my share of the rent. I promised her I’d find another job in September, but the truth is, I’m dreaming of just one thing: leaving. I can’t stand her fits of anger. She hasn’t raised a hand to me for a while now, apparently moving into the adults’ camp has given me a kind of immunity, but she doesn’t hold back with Agathe. All my life, I’ve been scared of her, found excuses for her, but now I can feel anger taking over. I don’t know how long I can hold out. It’s intolerable being dependent on her moods, dreading her return every evening, being careful about everything one says, how one says it, how one looks at her, how one walks.
