NP: So you thought for those few days that she was with family?
RS: She'd be with a member of family.
NP: Yeah but you didn't call them to check or anything, or pick up the phone and say is Tina with you, you know?
RS: Well we didn't have their phone numbers, Neil, to be honest with you.
NP: Okay, okay.
RS: I've been, to be honest, I've been a member of the family now for over 28 years, and there's not one member the family inquired into how I'm feeling.
NP: As to how you're feeling?
RS: Yeah, there's not one member of the family asked me, there's no
no... there was not one of them would ring me up and say 'look,how are you?' but to be honest with you, that's the way they was before Tina went away.
NP: Okay, so there was no particular contact between you and the fam... the extended family anyway?
RS: Nah.
NP: Yeah
RS: You know, if we erm
if Tina wanted to see any member of family it was us that used to go and visit them, not them come visit us. [13:40]
NP: Hey well, I mean they are concerned, I have spoken to them,they are besides themselves with grief and worry, you know?
RS: I understand that.
NP: They are, you know.
RS: But part of me, to be honest, and this is not knocking the family at all, it might sound like I am, but perhaps if they showed a bit of concern before she went things might be different.
NP: But... but did you let... did you let her family know that she was depressed, that she was crying a lot? Did you ever let the family know that she had said to you that if I ever leave you don't come after me? That's pretty much what she said if I ever leave you don't come after me.
RS: Yeah, that's pretty much.
NP: Yeah.
RS: But erm
NP: Would you keep all of that to yourself though?
RS: [long pause] We have nobody, Neil.
NP: It's just you and Tina.
RS: Yeah, it's just me and Tina.
