And then you remember back to the room where the decision was taken to head out for a take-away curry; that warm, quiet, smokefilled room; lying about and dreaming and imagining what foods you could possibly buy. That place suddenly seems a long while ago, a long way away. Spatial discontinuity Spatial continuity falls away. Physically moving one’s position in space can offer a quite new perspective on the world. Even getting up and moving to a different part of the room is like going on holiday; you’re suddenly in a different world which looks and feels different from where you were a minute ago.
With a great deal of fear and foreboding I decided to go to Steve’s room, I stood outside for a while, listening. Thankfully his shouting had abated, he was mumbling away to himself. I opened the door and listened in – he was in bed. I decided that the worst was over and quietly closed the door, relieved that I had not been put to the test. We eventually got Steve into hospital four weeks later – those four weeks were hell! Steve, Victoria, Christine and Terry Hammond. Several years later I asked Chris about the night she accused me of being frightened.
Steve developed a drinking problem – consuming nine pints a session, four or five days a week, plus an unknown amount from our drinks cabinet. When I challenged him over his drinking he said that when he got pissed he felt ‘normal’. Unfortunately Steve’s excursions back to normality cost us untold problems. It put the whole family under even more strain. Apart from the vomit-stained carpets, beer-soaked bed linen and disrupted sleep, his drinking seemed to accentuate his bizarre behaviour, which he portrayed with less inhibition.
