A few years later, he described the feeling of feeling when he knew his name appeared in Le Scouchear.
“That was the beginning of the answers of life responses, and then the descent was the beginning of hell when I left the lawyer’s office,” he said. “I felt that I lost control of everything. I wasn’t crazy, but I had to deal with the truth of what happened now.”
He also described the emotional tollness of revelation.
“I fell into a deep depression … I tried to help my family, but I felt completely alone,” he said.
