Mon histoire / My story

 

 

VERSION FRANÇAISE (english version below)

 

Aujourd’hui, je choisis de jeter la honte par la fenêtre pour la remplacer par de l’humilité, et demander de l’aide.

Je m’appelle Maryse.

Je suis survivante de 18 années d’inceste, de violence intrafamiliale et de négligence durant l’enfance, ainsi que d’agressions commises par trois autres agresseurs. Je vis avec un trouble de stress post-traumatique complexe sévère, ainsi qu’avec une maladie auto-immune qui affecte considérablement mon quotidien. Ces réalités ont un impact direct sur ma santé, mon énergie et ma capacité à fonctionner de façon stable.

Par souci de dignité et de reprise de pouvoir, je suis engagée dans une procédure civile, même s’il est possible que je ne reçoive aucune compensation. J’ai déjà dépensé des milliers de dollars en frais juridiques.

Cette démarche n’est pas une question de savoir si le tort a existé : cela est établi. Il est aussi question de mérite : mériter reconnaissance, responsabilité et réparation, indépendamment de l’issue financière.

À la suite de ma séparation, j’ai dû quitter mon quartier et me reloger à environ 20 minutes de l’école, parce que les appartements y étaient inabordables. Je croyais pouvoir m’y adapter. Malgré certains ajustements, je constate aujourd’hui que cette situation n’est pas soutenable pour ma santé physique et mentale, la sclérodermie et le TSPT-C s’alimentant mutuellement, le froid aggravant ma maladie auto-immune.

J’ai récemment trouvé, par chance, un logement tout aussi abordable, situé à deux minutes de marche de l’école, sur la même rue que le père de mes deux plus jeunes enfants (et près de mon plus vieux). Ce changement nécessaire n’était pas prévu.

Pour préserver ma santé et l’équilibre familial, je dois retourner dans mon quartier, mais cette transition est financièrement hors de portée sans soutien.

Concrètement, j’ai besoin d’aide pour le déménagement. L’organisation et le passage à l’action sont actuellement complexes pour moi. Un montant d’environ 2 000 $ est nécessaire pour couvrir l’emballage de mes effets et les frais de déménagement, ce qui correspond aux coûts réels de ce type de service. 

 

Le déménagement est prévu pour le 27 décembre 2025.

C’est donc avec beaucoup d’humilité que je vous demande de m’aider à rendre possible le soutien dont j’ai besoin.

 

 

COMMENT VOUS POUVEZ M’AIDER

• En partageant cette page 

• Par un soutien financier, selon vos moyens

• Par un prêt, si c’est quelque chose qui vous est possible

• Par un message, une écoute ou un mot d’encouragement

 

 

J'aimerais aussi pouvoir redonner et offrir une conférence gratuite pour partager certaines réflexions issues de mon parcours, autour du trauma, de la santé mentale et du lien entre le corps et le processus de guérison. Un échange, des outils, des ressources.

 

 

Merci sincèrement de votre soutien,

Maryse

 

 

ENGLISH VERSION

Today, I choose to throw shame out the window and replace it with humility, and ask for help.

My name is Maryse.

I am a survivor of 18 years of incest, intrafamilial violence, and childhood neglect, as well as abuse committed by three other perpetrators. I live with severe Complex PTSD and an autoimmune disease that significantly affects my daily functioning. These realities have a direct impact on my health, energy, and overall stability.

For my dignity and my ability to reclaim power over my life, I am engaged in a civil legal process, even though it is possible that I may ultimately receive no financial compensation. I have already spent thousands of dollars in legal fees.

This process is not about whether harm occurred; that has been established. It is also about deserving recognition, accountability, and meaningful repair, regardless of the financial outcome.

Following my separation, I had to leave my neighborhood and relocate about 20 minutes away from the school, because housing there had become unaffordable. I believed I could make it work, but I now realize that this situation is not sustainable for my physical and mental health, as scleroderma and C-PTSD reinforce each other, with cold weather worsening my autoimmune symptoms.

By chance, I recently found another equally affordable apartment, located a two-minute walk from the school, on the same street as the father of my two youngest children (and close to my eldest). This necessary change was not planned.

For my health and our family’s balance, I need to return to my neighborhood, but this transition is financially out of reach without support.

Concretely, I need help with the move. Organization and taking action are currently complex for me. An amount of approximately $2,000 is needed to cover packing services and moving costs, which reflects the actual costs of this type of support. 

It is therefore with great humility that I am asking for help to make the support I need possible.

The move is scheduled on Decembre 27th. 

 

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

• By sharing this page 

• Through financial support, according to your means

• Through a loan, if that is something you can offer

• Through a message, listening, or a word of encouragement

 

 

I would also love to offer a free talk to share reflections drawn from my journey, around trauma, mental health, and healing. I hope to share and connect. Maybe give out some tools and resources that helped me along the way.

 

Thank you for your support,

Maryse
