Laura is now married. The young woman, all smiles, is expecting her first child. And yet, Laura had a very difficult childhood, moving from home to home. “I experienced physical and psychological abuse,” she explains.
“Actually, I was told quite abruptly how mum died. I learned about it from my maternal grandmother who told me straight up: “You’ll end up like your mum, in garbage bags, cut up into pieces…” Laura was only two years old when her mum, Nathalie Godart, was killed. And it was at the age of 5 that Laura learned very brutally the circumstances of her disappearance. Laura was entrusted to her grandmother…
“I was saved by primary school. I landed in the arms of my teacher” Laura explains her daily experience, very difficult and brutal. It is from this moment that she is placed in a home.
Resilience
Laura ends up falling into a home “with attentive educators”. She adds: “It was the first time that I was told about myself as a victim, compared to all that I had experienced. They explained to me that there was nothing normal about all this. They also started talking to me about my mom. »
