Suffering from loneliness, Marie seeks to reconnect with her childhood love

TESTIMONY

For several months now, Marie has been living with a friend who offered to provide her with temporary accommodation because she was poorly housed in a city she did not like.

Marie says she suffers from loneliness and would like to find her own accommodation.

Feeling isolated, she then seeks to reconnect with her childhood sweetheart with whom she lived in the 1970s, to hear from him.

At the microphone of "La Libre antenna", on Europe 1, Marie says that the latter's mother had not accepted their relationship at the time.

"I am temporarily staying with a friend who lives in the Lyon region. But it is not at all my area, I am from Charente-Maritime. I am very poorly housed and I am all alone. I was put in a peep and I'm in terrible pain. This person who is temporarily hosting me heard me on the air about a year ago. We chatted for four months and one fine day he offered to come. I'm still there, but it doesn't always go very well.

I must be surrounded by warmth

I would like to have accommodation.

I'm tired of moving everywhere.

In 2013, I lived in an apartment in Rochefort-sur-Mer.

I was in a building, but my neighbors made a lot of noise.

My tires were punctured.

They made me a hell of a life.

I stayed there 4 or 5 years, then I was moved to another apartment.

It was also untenable.

I don't have a pot.

After several years, the social worker made me move to another city that I don't like.

I don't like it at all.

I did not have children, because an operation made me sterile.

I have a sister who doesn't take care of me.

I am really all alone.

I'm tired of struggling.

I have a friend who may be able to help me find accommodation.

She started taking steps in another region where they are building a building for independent seniors.

She phoned the manager and spoke about me in fair terms.

I wait.

I am not well here.

We don't see anyone.

It's sad.

Me, I need to talk.

I feel isolated.

I need to be surrounded by warmth and not be alone anymore.

I would just like to say hello

When I was young, I lived with sir.

Her mom didn't accept me, she kicked me out.

I left and made my life as best I could.

I had a lot of worries.

One day, I went to the United States.

It was roughly.

One day in the 1990s, my mother received a call from a man.

He was the man I had lived with for a few years.

He was asking for my news.

My mother told him that I had gone to the United States.

He told her that he realized much later that I had suffered a lot with his mother and that it had been terrible for me.

It is true that I suffered a lot from this situation.

My mom didn't tell me where he was.

If this gentleman is with a lady, I apologize to her, but I would just like to say hello.

I hope this gentleman is still on Earth.

His name was Alain.

I was 27 at the time.

That was a long time ago in the 1970s. We worked together in Paris.

I was a typist and he was an industrial designer in a large telephone company, near the rue de Tolbiac in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Alain's dad also worked in this large company.

Alain is 68 years old and I am 72 years old.

It's just to say hi, that's all.
