C\u2019est l\u2019histoire des sept voiles. L\u2019\u00e2me est entour\u00e9e de sept voiles et, au cours de la vie, nous avons la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019en d\u00e9voiler un apr\u00e8s l\u2019autre. Un secret en dissimule un autre. La consommation secr\u00e8te d\u2019alcool ou de comprim\u00e9s masque parfois un secret plus profond, qui reste encore bien davantage cach\u00e9 et qui, tel un ulc\u00e8re lancinant, alimente la consommation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Un secret en recouvre un autre. Pour maintenir le secret, il faut souvent recourir \u00e0 des mensonges dans lesquels le consommateur finit par s\u2019emp\u00eatrer. En tant que professionnel de l\u2019aide, il faut \u00e9galement s\u2019en m\u00e9fier. Je vais maintenant m\u2019attirer la col\u00e8re de la moiti\u00e9 de mon lectorat si je pense que les femmes sont meilleures que les hommes pour garder les secrets. Et aussi pour mentir.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019est moins vrai qu\u2019autrefois, parce que les femmes ont d\u00e9sormais davantage de choix. Elles y \u00e9taient bien oblig\u00e9es. Dans le pass\u00e9, il \u00e9tait tout de m\u00eame fr\u00e9quent que l\u2019homme exerce un pouvoir physique au sein de la famille, tout simplement parce que sa force corporelle \u00e9tait et est sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 celle de la femme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le dominant n\u2019a pas besoin de secret pour dominer. Le mensonge est l\u2019arme du faible. Pour survivre, la femme devait \u00eatre rus\u00e9e et retorse. Dans le contexte de la d\u00e9pendance et de l\u2019aide telle que nous la rencontrons, nous constatons que cela donne encore lieu \u00e0 de nombreuses situations probl\u00e9matiques qui \u00e9chappent \u00e0 toute attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il faut attendre la crise, lorsque les mensonges ne suffisent plus et que la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 doit \u00eatre dite. En tant que professionnel de l\u2019aide, il faut parfois attendre longtemps que la confiance se soit suffisamment d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e pour que cela devienne possible, que cela puisse \u00eatre dit et que cela puisse se d\u00e9rouler dans un climat de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et de protection. Que la personne sache qu\u2019on ne le lui reprochera pas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malheureusement, dans certains cas, cela ne devient \u00e9vident qu\u2019une fois que des l\u00e9sions importantes des organes sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 apparues, voire que des l\u00e9sions c\u00e9r\u00e9brales existent d\u00e9j\u00e0. C\u2019est bien dommage. Il semble donc exister une population qui reste sous les radars jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019apparition de l\u00e9sions irr\u00e9versibles, et cela vaut donc encore davantage pour les femmes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comme cela se v\u00e9rifie \u00e9galement pour de nombreuses autres maladies, ce n\u2019est pas seulement l\u2019aide aux personnes concern\u00e9es, mais aussi la recherche scientifique qui a longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 domin\u00e9e par le point de vue masculin. Cela a chang\u00e9 relativement r\u00e9cemment. La d\u00e9pendance \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme une \u00ab maladie d\u2019hommes \u00bb et tant l\u2019aide que la recherche se concentraient sur des populations masculines.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
