"children's home smell clings to me,"
"Sometimes I made good, sometimes I get around cancer," says Sylvia K. (name changed) her life, city planner, she was, a TV writer, she have seen the world and always feared one thing: the loss of their freedom. Because she had been socialized as "a southern European stray dog - To want to slam without the dogs "in a children's home in northern Hesse. The consequences of that home education, which she would have to tell. The 53-year-old living abroad who return to Germany they will not. Her son is 13
Today your son living with you. Did you get custody back?
Sylvia K. No. I had a feeling soon that we only stayed the flight. Because the father had long since lost the fun of a child. After years of single parents and after the proceedings I was broke. So I swiped on 2 October 2004 my son and fled with him into the distant Portugal.
where you are but not long remain with your son?
Sylvia K. live since the summer of 2005 we have the language for a German speaking community in a neighboring country of Germany. My son can go to school. The years of fear to be discovered in the neck, to be exploited to always, always live in uncertainty, what should I pay the rent, has made me really down. Now, as I tell my story in short form, remember to come back here again anger and despair equally high in me.
you still have to be afraid?
Sylvia K. Since a few weeks, I know that we are no longer sought. After much begging his father moved back to its display. But I had to assure him that I make no financial claims. He still has sole custody, but agree that our son lives with me.
is however ruled out a return to Germany?
Sylvia K. We can not return to Germany, because then would the authorities take my son because the father is divorced. My son does not want him. He would then probably be accommodated as once planned a stranger. For another lengthy dispute I currently have neither the nerve nor the money. Above all, I will not do that to my son. He should not get my trauma. In addition, I do not want to return to Germany. have
My story, my experiences with the custody of authorities showed me in a startling way, what a horrible rule arbitrariness and inhumanity still behind the scenes. I could now give a few soundbites for the best. Our case had sometimes Kafkaesque features.
My whole life I had the feeling that the smell of the orphanage is still liable to me.
