ABSTRACT

Forty years on, Rose was still alone and without a family to call her own. She had briefly married a foreigner and emigrated with him to his country. But they literally spoke different languages, and so could not communicate with ease. This was a very disabling experience for Rose, who unconsciously reverted to Hurt Child mode. She found herself, as at six years old, in a strange country and culture, among people she did not understand and who did not seek to understand her.
