“My life is a daily struggle. There are mornings to get up and make coffee, it’s the end of the world. Because a childhood with an incestuous stepfather – I’m not afraid to say it today – also took me away from my sister, because my stepfather is her father”. It is with these very powerful words that Lio returned this Thursday March 16, 2024 in an interview given to Max on sexual and potentially incestuous violence which she declares to have suffered in her childhood.
