« For a long time, I had to erase any traces that I had been on this site. I now leave my words here
in the hope of helping other women.
After living together for 33 years, I decided to take the kids and leave. Enough with the criticism,
lying, hypocrisy, belittling, or threats. I was sick of simply existing; I wanted to live. He was so
controlling he even set up cameras and microphones and kept tabs on one of our daughter’s cell
phones. Now that we’ve left, we can finally breathe; we can finally live. I’M NOT AFRAID OF HIM
ANYMORE. Now, I just have to heal all the hurt he inflicted on me and the children, and then we
can fly away.
I’d like to thank the case workers. Thanks to you, we have come out stronger and better
equipped. We are regaining control over our lives. We felt safe at La Maison d’Ariane, and that
they really listened to us and gave good advice. They provide support and understand what
you’re going through. We no longer feel alone. They have supported us and taught us about our
rights so that we can better protect ourselves. »
