Ban abus sexuel kapav arrive avec n’importe ki. Dans différents contextes.

Mais la colère ek la trahison souvent pli grand kan prédateur la c’est ene dimoune de confiance ki servi la piété pou masquer so ban actes.

C’est ene dimoune ki ene parent fer confiance, mais aussi ki ene zenfan fer confiance.

Ban zenfan kapav trop jeunes pou rod l’aide par zot même, ou comprend la gravité de seki fine passer, alors c’est plito ban parents ki bizin ene rappel:

- Aret penser ki ene zenfan pou blier par li meme kan li vine grand. Li bizin ene soutien.

- Aret met blâme lor shaitan/jinn.
Aret compare ban violences sexuelles a ban actes consentants entre adultes kot nou dire ki Shaitaan ine reussi so coup.

- Aret dédouane ban prédateur de toute responsabilité par dire ki c’est ban ki pli pratiquant ki pliss toucher par shaitan.

- Pense pou encadrer zot zenfan sans blame li. Sans encolere parski li pane causer.
Sans dire li ki li pe fer la famille ou la communauté gagne honter.

- Si ene zenfan pas senti ki li kapav causer lakaz, kapav li per ki li pou fer so fami souffert. Rod ene l’aide professionel pou ki li kapav causer ek libère so leker.

- Parfois ene parent ousi bizin ene soutien ek l’écoute pou li kapav aide so zenfan.

Courage a ban parents ek zot zenfan ki pe passe par ene douleur inimaginable.
Mo ena ene pensée pou tou ban victimes ki ine passe par ban violences sexuelles ki zamais ine gagne la justice.

In Mauritian culture, where family is sacred, conversations about estrangement land differently. Context matters.

When family is sacrosanct, even the language we use around healing and distance carries weight. In Mauritian families, estrangement isn’t just a concept; it is a fear, even in the presence of unresolved conflict or trauma.

Discussing estrangement without cultural sensitivity can deepen that fear;for both parents and adult children who may wish to address trauma without severing family ties, in keeping with their own beliefs.

As a result, some may abandon the idea of therapy altogether.

Estrangement should never be addressed recklessly.

What would it feel like to be the first person in your family to notice and work on the wrongful practices that may have been going on for generations?
Think about language, attitude, parenting, conflict management… what if you were the first to learn to do things differently?
What if you learnt to repair, assemble, set healthy boundaries, and overall make healthier choices that positively impact you and your loved ones?
What if, by doing the work, you inspired fellow family members to speak up in safe spaces, get professional help if needed, and finally free themselves from ghosts that may have been haunting them for years?
Be the change you want to see.

…and she probably means well 🫶🏼
However, your grandma may not know that in Mauritius, unless your therapist is also a medical doctor/psychiatrist, they cannot prescribe medication! This is a very common misconception.
If need be, your therapist will refer you to a psychiatrist who will help with managing medication in a way that promotes your wellbeing.

…and it’s very important for you not to listen to said uncle.
In the Mauritian society, some family members will always frown upon seeing a therapist. I have noticed over the years that the problem is NOT always “dimoune ki pou dire”.
Often, people don’t know how therapy works, and don’t know about confidentiality protocols that apply. Many people don’t know what is discussed in the therapy room and how the therapist maintains boundaries with their clients. Their fears are often based on not knowing whether therapists can handle their issues with utmost respect and compassion.
At times, educating family members about therapy is the first step. People need to learn more about the safe space that therapy provides (as opposed to a gossip room).

May 2026 be the year where we strive to treat ourselves with compassion and kindness.
