After some time, Kerstin was able to move to an accommodation with staff, and Annika visits her regularly.

– I go to my mother’s house all the time, I can’t help it. It’s a bit like having a three-year-old who you know is yourself, then you’d want to go there all the time.

In manager changes, it can happen like this, you can agree with a manager that this is what you should do, something that you may have dreamed of.

The wide range of the cross is tickling fun, as questions from so many decades and genres pop up. Everyone can participate, challenge each other or help each other.

– I was co-dependent. You do violence to yourself. You don’t prioritize yourself. All one’s time is spent saving this person’s life.

I Magnus Hedman and Nemo Hédens podcast “Hedman and Héden – an addiction podcast” she told in 2021 about her feelings for her ex-partner.

– I have a lot of love for Thorsten, a lot. But I mourn him like someone who has passed away. No one wishes more than me that he should be well in his life.

– We talked the other week. The thing with Thorsten, it’s appropriate to say now if anyone has a lot of opinions about him, I don’t know anyone who is so funny. The conversations with him when he is at his best then they are absolutely fantastic. He is intelligent, he has a dark sense of humor that is absolutely wonderful. He has a giant heart.
