“When my dad got back, I was eleven years old. I was already a teenager. He loved me. I loved him too. However, I think we missed my childhood which we had not spent together. But we did not have a problem. Nevertheless, they had a relationship problem, I mean my mum and dad. It was because they did not learn to live together because their love had been fresh. And they got back together after eleven years after they had lived through difficult things. And I only retrospectively understood that they both thought their life had been harder. And they could not say to each other let us try to forget about things at least a bit and start over. That is why they both had mental issues because it was difficult to get back together. Moreover, my dad could not find a job because he was on parole for ten more years.”

When they started running away, it was clear that something was going on underground and the prisoners tried to get up from the underground quickly.”
