Under cover of humor, Hélène's son makes hurtful remarks to him.

Hélène says she tried to tell him that it pained her, but he continues.

At the microphone of Olivier Delacroix, on "La Libre antenna" of Europe 1, Hélène says she no longer recognizes her son since his professional success and his separation.

TESTIMONY

Hélène's son talks to her that offends her and passes it off as humor.

She says he tells her that he won't visit her if she goes to the hospital and he won't attend her funeral.

According to Hélène, this has been going on since he was successful professionally and separated from his ex-wife.

At the microphone of "La Libre antenna", on Europe 1, Hélène asks Olivier Delacroix for advice to make her son understand that his words hurt her.

"My son is 44 years old. He's been talking harshly to me for a few years. He has a humor that I can't stand. His humor is to put me down. He calls me very rarely, but when he calls me. calls, he tells me to come out like that I will catch the Covid-19 and he will touch the inheritance. If I make a meal, he tells my granddaughter that I am bad and that it is not me who l did, while cooking. 

If I forget something, he says I have Alzheimer's disease, that I am getting spoiled.

Like my dad got it, it's something that scares me.

He says he will soon put us, his father-in-law and I, in a retirement home, because that is where we belong.

It's recurring.

I never have a kind word, affection or tenderness.

I can tell him that it weighs me down, that it hurts me, that it makes me sick, it makes him laugh. 

"

I don't recognize him anymore

"

He has no siblings.

I only have one son.

Until he left home, he was a very humble boy.

We didn't raise him like that, but he has changed a lot.

I no longer recognize him.

For me, his current character is not him.

He was a very sociable person, who loved everyone, who did not distinguish between the people he met.

He was very nice, very outgoing.

I do not recognize him. 

He entered the world of work and rose through the ranks to get to where he is.

He is an executive in a company that manufactures electric cars.

He's below the director.

He therefore has an important position.

He makes a very good living.

Now he despises everyone.

All those who are not of his level, they are people who are worth nothing.

He is separated from his wife.

This claim came after his separation and his social rise. 

"

Why is he telling me all this? To torture me?

"

I have the impression that he takes me for an idiot.

If I ask him to explain something to me that I did not understand, he tells me that anyway I do not understand anything.

When my parents didn't understand something, I would explain it to them.

When my mom passed away he said, 'Don't think I'll do what you did for grandma.

If you go to the hospital, I won't come to see you.

When you're dead, I won't be there to close the coffin. '

That hurts me. 

Why is he telling me all this?

To torture me?

He knows that I am sensitive and that these are things that touch me.

He could very well think it and not tell me.

I don't know what to do to make it stop.

I explained to him that if he said things with humor, I didn't receive him in the same way.

He reacted by saying that I had no humor.

I told him it hurt me and he continues.

Looks like he's really enjoying it.

He makes a good living.

He is unable to bring us a gift when he comes to see us.

For Christmas, he does not come to us.

I don't know what he's doing for Christmas, I don't know anything about his life.

I have never been invited to his place.

When he was a child, I did not give in to everything, but to many things.

Even now I hardly see him, but he brings me clothes to sew up and I don't say no.

I have the impression that he takes me for the stooge on duty.

For him, it's normal, everything is due to him. 

It scares me because I no longer have a family.

I only have him.

I tell myself that if anything happens to us when we are old, we should not count on him.

The years go by and I am more and more in pain.

I'm tired of it all.

I feel like I'm hitting a wall.

He doesn't listen, he doesn't take into account my suffering.

We see him maybe twice a year.

If you want to see it, you have to comply with its demands.

I put up with it, because I'm afraid I'll never see it again.
