This has been happening quietly for a couple weeks now, I'm not diminishing the daughter. But news articles have been picking up anti Gisele Pelicot sentiments, they can never let us have a true win. The backlash against her will be happening in earnest now. And frankly going to reporters about this shows you are not united, it's so fucking hypocritical to me of her to do this. Involving the press when you as women should stand united against the depravity of these men. Why does it always end this way? Genuinely. Why can we never just hold our ground.

Maybe I'm just too tired to have empathy, but your mother was raped so brutally and horribly by her husband, her photos and videos out there and you think she's the betrayer. For god's sake, I doubt she's processing her own trauma, especially after being so brave in the public. Once you're an adult, I really think you need to start seeing your parents as their own people and not as parents still raising you. They're not, you're both equal now. I hope this is the only article she makes about this and talks to her therapist instead of the press moving forward. The worst part this is all to sell a book. :/

Edit:

Caroline was furious upon hearing this, she writes, but was even more stunned and taken aback by her mother’s reaction.

“Your father’s in a bad way in prison,” she told her daughter. “He’s suffering so much; I must have failed him in some way over the past years.”

That poor woman. I can never imagine finding this out about someone, much less your husband and knowing how badly he hurt you.

“Her silence says a lot,” Darian writes about her mother’s reaction to her daughter’s belief that she was also her father’s victim. “I thought we were a united and tight-knit clan … and I am hit by this implacable reality in the face: my mother does not want to believe me or to hear me. The pain runs right through me.

I feel for Darian, but she really needs to talk to a therapist and unpack all this because if she wants tight knit then she needs to reciprocate. The public square is not the place for this, and they will tear her and her mother apart. I don't think her mom is even in the realm of being ready to deal with Dairan's issues on top of her own. To me this reads like an adult child asking her mother to drop everything for her own hurt, and I think adult children need to get in the habit of not expecting the world from their mothers. She has nothing left to give, your father took it all. Let her come to terms in her own time, try and speak to your support group about your hurts and maybe when you're both ready you can come together again.

She was probably a daddy's girl and can't handle blaming him, so she has to hate her mother even more than her father.
