“If I am here today, accompanied by my father and my brother, it is to free the floor in families, so that parents can hear their children. Doing this process was difficult for me. But if I managed to do it, it is because I managed to free myself from a weight, thanks to the listening of my father “blows the Orthézien.
“More to keep it for me”
Indeed, he who thought he had “buried” this traumatic episode which destroyed his life – “I have always been suffering, it took my smile, made unable to love and be loved” – saw all his anxieties after the media coverage at the beginning of the year. “I fell ill, for several months. But I couldn’t keep it anymore for myself. In June, at Father’s Day, I vomited him on the table. It was not easy for him or for my mother. But today, they are by my side, ”he says.
The Orthézien, who indicates “not remembering everything” and “suffering from partial amnesia” in the face of lived traumas, nevertheless believes that he was the victim of sexual assault on the part of Father Silviet-Carricart and physical violence on the part of a supervisor. “As soon as I try to remember exactly, I vomited again. But yes, I was the victim of rape ”.
Jean, his 93 -year -old father: “I planted myself”
Today, he wants to face, overcome his alcohol addiction and follow a new therapy with his psychiatrist to determine “exactly” what he experienced in Betharram.
The man was accompanied by his father, Jean, aged 93. The slow step, but an iron will to support his son. A strong symbol addressed to all the victims, who often have to face the silence of their family. “I put it in Betharram because the establishment was renowned. For me, it was the good Lord. I planted myself … He suffered so much. And us too ”.
