Eglantine Eméyé shows unparalleled courage as she goes through severe trials alongside her two children. On the other hand, she can count on her eldest son who has developed a particularity in the face of his brother’s severe autism…
The daily life of Eglantine Eméyé, 48, has nothing of an enchanted life. The former miss weather forecaster has to deal every day with the autism of a young polyhandicapped child named Samy, a source of difficulty that she never eludes, however. This path strewn with pitfalls inspired him last year to write a book entitled Your words in my head, a dialogue between her child and an Iraqi refugee. To the magazine Here is, the television host recently preferred to talk about her eldest son who provides her with precious help in her daily lifeat least according to him.
From the height of his 19 years, Marco has developed a particularity in contact with his disabled younger brother. ” Sometimes I was told: ‘Above all, don’t forget your eldest son.’ I was a single mom and I did what I could”, begins by explaining Eglantine Eméyé. ” Marco has developed hypersensitivity, no doubt linked to his journey as the brother of an autistic child. As a child, he witnessed scenes that were too difficult for a child. An experience that makes you grow and leaves traces. Eglantine Eméyé testifies: “ Looking back, what I experienced is unimaginable. I spent nights crying, lying on top of him to contain him and prevent him from hurting himself. »
Eglantine Eméyé lived the unimaginable
Eglantine Eméyé knows that she was very lucky unlike other mothers in her situation. Some are alone – in most cases, the fathers quickly leave the ship – in 28 m2 with three children, one of whom is autistic, and they may love him viscerally, it is unlivable for all. We’ve made a lot of progress on autism detection, but that’s not all. Samy, 16, now lives in a specialized establishment. Her mother, she found love again thanks to a certain Richard, a documentary filmmaker, himself the father of a daughter. It almost looks like a happy ending… Just like in the movies!
