The Guardian’s Weekend Podcast explores the complexities of trauma, family dynamics, and healing.
Last week, Caroline Darian, daughter of rape victims Dominique and Gisèle Pelicot, shared her personal struggles with being a child of both victim and perpetrator.
Ms Darian describes feeling the “crushing double burden” of this situation, highlighting its emotional toll on mental health. She also spoke to Dr Philippa Perry about prioritizing stability over toxic relationships in life.
If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, support is available from Rape Crisis in the UK (0808 500 2222), Rainn in the US (800-656-4673), and 1800Respect in Australia.
