Pauline recounts this "tunnel of intense joy" but also the pain that inhabits it. So after telling Sarah, Pauline - who offers a window on her daily life via @cettepetitevie - reveals a little more here: her love story with her true soul mate, a woman, after having experienced a heterosexual relationship and the birth of a child 10 years ago. The daily life of a single mother (and especially the happy logistics). Coping with a spouse's illness. Then more recently the PMA course to become a mother again with his wife, "administrative homophobia" in a society which nevertheless tends to evolve, the mental load in this new pattern of life. The struggle to finally be recognized as a mother in the eyes of the law, and her experience of induced lactation (breastfeeding for a woman who has not carried the child). Pauline also talks about her episode of depression, her dream (sometimes) of loneliness and her ability to let go when everything escapes her.
