In her search, she feels “only“, and “foreign to [son] family environment“.”As a child and then as a teenager, I developed a great feeling of guilt. I felt useless, mean, not up to par. I became very bulimic“, she says. Later, she decides to start therapy: “I met my shrink: finally I was faced with someone who understood me (…). She gave birth to me a second time“.
