The shame needs to change sides – with Caroline Darian and Sandrine Mittelstädt
On November 2, 2020, Caroline Darian, daughter of Gisèle and Dominique Pelicot, received a phone call from the police: Her father had been arrested. Since 2013, Pelicot had been secretly drugging his wife with chemical substances, so he could rape her while she was unconscious and hand her over to nearly 100 other men. There were shocking photos of Caroline, too. She has no memory of them, just as her mother has no recollection of the countless rapes. In I’ll Never Call Him Dad Again, Caroline Darian describes with extraordinary courage what it was like to fall into the abyss. This book is a daughter’s declaration of love for a mother who has succeeded in maintaining her dignity and strength in the most harrowing of times. Mother and daughter have turned their personal trauma into a collective battle – to shift the shame to the abusers and change the legal framework. German text: Sandrine Mittelstädt; Host: Olga Mannheimer
