"I have four children. My ex-spouse has partnered with a man who has been in prison for fifteen years. My children were abused by my ex-wife's new partner. One of my sons was beaten three I filed a complaint. There were fifteen gendarmes to secure me, because I received death threats. He wanted to kill me. The gendarmes had taken my son to be examined by a doctor who occupies battered children. To take revenge, he wanted to take me down.
What saved me was my job. When I was at work, I didn't think about all these stories. I got stoned doing housework, laundry, shopping. I had three dependent children. The prosecutor gave me custody of the children. To accompany two of my children to school, there were two gendarmes who followed us in case the other came. It happened in 1995. Now my children are adults.
" I wanted to disinherit them all "I got angry with all my kids, because now my ex-wife is talking nonsense about me to put the kids in my pocket. One day, I was summoned to the gendarmerie. The gendarmes told me that one of my sons no longer wanted to see me. It was probably tricked by his mother and the other guy.
My ex-wife fucked my other son outside last year in November. I got it back. No one took sides with my second son. He was alone. He was on the street. Her brothers and sisters don't care. I got angry with everyone. I wanted to disinherit them all. I was there.

My older daughter is blind and has multiple sclerosis. I have reconciled with her. It is too serious what she has. She knows the stories, but she has her illness. She has been sick for fifteen years. I'm not going to make her sweat with it. With all this nonsense, I no longer have a partner. I'm all alone. I went to see a psychologist, it's better. It is the kids who suffer. For a while, I wanted to kill her. You have to see what she did. "
