Monday, January 17, they notably received Marie, a 16-year-old teenager, who came to encourage her mother Sophie to transform. “His look really, it’s not okay”, she said, before explaining: “She’s always been like that, but it got worse when my father died, two years ago.” A death occurred after the separation of his parents. “He always wanted to have control over what we did, the kids and my mum. At one point, my mum got tired of him still having control over our lives, so she decided to leave. My mother started divorce proceedings, but the day before the day of the answer to the divorce, my father was found dead.”
