In Her Skin Page #4

---

and sometimes

you hurt me so badly inside,

I wished you were dead.

Here's a thought I had

when I was angry.

Good night, and I hope

you had a nice day at work.

Please,

don't rip this note up.

I want to keep it.

But you can write back

if you want to.

[printer whirring]

Love, Curly Top.

I really, really, really,

really, really need help.

Good night.

[motorcycle engine rumbling]

[engine noise fades]

[whimpers]

[people speaking indistinctly]

I don't care!

I need that one now!

All right,

I will make you another one.

Just go and watch TV.

I'm hungry.

[gasps]

She rang him, you know?

I mean, that's why he came.

She told him

I'd thrown all his stuff

on the nature strip.

I mean, I am trying,

you know?

But it's just so hard.

Caroline makes Kate hate me.

Caroline's so angry.

The problems in this house

are because of her.

It's a difficult age.

I was horrible to my mother.

I just... I don't know

what's gonna happen to me.

And what will people think?

Elizabeth,

you wouldn't understand.

In my social circle,

divorced women

are frowned upon.

And my...

my whole life is ruined.

Look at me.

I'm fat.

I'm ugly.

You'll be fine.

You have the kids,

the house.

I'm sure David

will look after you.

But he doesn't care about us.

She goes on and on

about her father,

wanting to live with him,

and he doesn't...

Hi, Elizabeth.

Hi, Caroline.

Dad was here.

Yes, he was.

Came and took

his stupid motorbike.

Why didn't he come see me?

Because he was...

he was in a hurry.

He couldn't bear to stay,

really.

Couldn't bear you.

God, I hope

I don't turn out like you.

Why don't you just let me go?

Caroline, sweetheart...

You don't care about me!

You must have been

my absolute worst f***ing enemy

in a past life!

I hate you!

Caroline,

I can't take this anymore!

[sobs]

You can't take it?

Well, f*** you.

She's always been horrible.

Shh.

Even as a baby.

Shh.

Dear Mum,

I know I'm not

the perfect child you wanted.

I am the most fat, ugly,

selfish, cursed thing.

You should have

had an abortion.

You just put your arms

around her.

She'll come back to you.

No, she won't.

You don't understand.

She writes these letters.

They're so overwhelming.

There's so much unhappiness.

I just don't know

what to do.

[sobbing]

[wailing]

Gail, why don't you

come over to our house?

I have to finish dinner

for the kids.

It will burn.

Then I'll make you

a fresh cup of tea.

[wailing and screaming]

[panting, sobbing]

[flames crackling]

[children laughing]

[peaceful acoustic music]
