Marie, placed in a home: “I spent days in the cellar”

The daughter of a sick mother and a father who was unable to raise his children, Marie was tossed around from foster family to foster family throughout her childhood.

Within these homes, she suffered violence from adults.

How do we survive when we are deprived of love as a child?

How did Marie manage to rebuild herself?

And what adult, what mother has she become?

In this episode of "In Olivier's Eyes", the podcast adapted by Europe 1 Studio, Marie confides her story to Olivier Delacroix.

She recounts her unhappy childhood and the day she decided to become a foster family herself to offer the children what she had not received.
