Hemiplegic flower-doll revealed her terrible secret

I don’t know when Akan realized that in her building a paper doll (Betsy Mac Call) lived on the 16th floor and an hemiplegic flower-doll on the second floor.

In fact she met the first in the lift sometimes. But she never saw the other in the elevator, as she probably didn’t like to use it for only 2 floors.

Akan noticed that Miss Flower Doll (her real name was Blythe Somat) seemed to suffer from severe somatic disorders because {she dragged her left leg and her hand was folded back over her forearm}.

Additionally she had a frail body condition and a extremely pale complexion.

But what’s the most mysterious was that this young girl didn’t have a face, her white hair hidden this lack of identity.

And most curious: she didn’t seem to need eyes, mouth and nose.

The question began to be:”How can she see, eat, drink, listen, speak, cry, scream???????”

There was no need for that apparently.


“Betsy Mac Call plays with Blythe Somat in the cemetery”. Copyright Alice Odilon 2010 .

The Flower-Doll was invented By French Psychanalyst Françoise DOLTO in 1950.

No need anymore for speaking, smiling, singing, tasting bread and butter, enjoying coffee, orange juice.

She never had the power of speech.

Undoubtedly she saw and felt with other senses that Akan had never considered in her entire life.

On the other hand, Miss Somat seemed to be aware of everything going on around her and nothing escaped her attention.

It was due to the high level perception of her rod-body.

We can say Miss Flower-doll had no need of a back and front, because they were the same from both sides.

Some weird magnetic thing made her extremely attractive.

Akan was obliged to admit she wanted to know more about Blythe Somat, even if she had to be intrusive.

This particular feeling made Akan guilty and ashamed, but she didn’t want to control this offensive curiosity.

So on the 15th of November 2010, on an awful rainy day, Akan rang at Blythe Somat’s door, in order to invite her for tea.

BS opened the door immediately.

Akan was quite surprised when she saw the blood covering Blythe Somat.

She was still standing but close to a sudden collapse.

- Oh my God! what happened to you, Blythe? asked Akan crying and shaking her hands.

- Miss Somat moved her disabled forearm with the dead hand and tried to say, it was the result of her condition.

She was  just  subject to “somatosensory amplification”: a tendency to perceive normal somatic and visceral sensation as being overly intense in a negative way.

Blythe asked for a pen and a piece of paper to reveal some terrible fact:

- You know, I’m a Flower-doll, a hard-worker:

– I spend all my positive energy in surviving during hours every day, being beaten and abused, and hurt by victim children needing to vent their anger on some generous professional scapegoat.

That’s my job! That’s  the way I pay my rent and holidays.

I’m no good for anything else, you know.

Unable to speak, Akan thought: What a shocking truth she had been reading.

And Flower-Doll wrote some words again: Because I’m such a nice girl, I am a “naughty thing” for abused or narcissistic children in need to evacuate anger and fear.

Do you understand I cure traumatized victims?

I’m quite happy with that. It makes me an essential very important toy-tool.

- Yes, I understand, you are a body of sacrifice.

And then Akan wanted to call 999 when Betsy Mac Call arrived passing the door, claiming the elevator was out of order and what a pain it was to walk 16 floors.

…..to be followed……

Pretty Picture found on Forum Pakistan

Anorexic paper doll

Anorexic Akan was thinking about the little paper doll she had just met.

Such a convulsive paroxysmal figure!
There was so much suffering in this paper girl!


“Sweet A-paper-doll”. copyright Alice Odilon 2010.


What could childhood have been like in this sheet embodied little girl?

Effectively she was consciously flat and light  self-embodied, because it was certainly the only way she had found to stay alive.
Becoming a featureless flat creature, glossy and nearly transparent, fragile and weak like a sheet of paper!
Can you imagine the sort of life she must have had until that day?


Akan knew why she had refused to get a rear facet and a thick body with inside vital organs and dark entrails.
She had to care for her life every second, because at anytime a bad thing might happen to her, coming from behind, or from the side.
Something hurting her deeply, even though she was only a sheet of paper.
Betsy Mac Call exhibited this frontal view without secrets and sexual entry, because she had been abused by adult eyes, by adult hands, by adult sex.
And she was not able to deal with that again.

But not only that, Betsy Mac Call was the “object a” of an empowered mother with a bewitching enchanting voice and  sharp hazel eyes, who left no place for life and security.

This amazing woman losing all her dreams about being famous, had been constrained to marry a busy successful man, who had fucked her regularly and lead her to successive pregnancies in the bloom of her life.

And then, that was that.

Betsy standing here in the middle of nowhere, like a ghostly stiff shape without shade, without consideration, without any weight of importance.

Furthermore Dad had nothing to do with all this unilateral ascendancy, he worked too much and had dreams.Dreams of freedom and beauty.
He was so far from seeing, or guessing, what was happening in Betsy’s life.
Yes this uncomfortable incarnation of paper life represented the perfect hell of anorexia.
Akan recognized fellow feeling in her heart and fell under the charm of Betsy Mac Call.

Permanently heartbroken Betsy could be torn up and used as a sop by anyone, easily pleased and happy to play with weaker women,  innocent creature.
Shameless people could burn her with cigarettes and consume her entire body in a second of life.
And then other potbellied women might crumple her and hurt her to death,  by bending her in several pieces or pulling her to lethal bits.
Then Akan thought about Betsy’s eyes, limbs, and thin core.
So much aggressiveness could be spread on her defenseless expressive body.
It seemed Betsy had accepted to play the rule of the perfect victim.


Alice ODILON. 19 of october 2010.

Do you have a profile of victim?


If somebody had told  me I would be abused, I would have laughed in his face.

I grew up in a french wealthy family. Some troubles had disturbed my childhood, there was a black hole in the middle of my mind.



“Les  mains de Marie”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2005.

My memory failed about the past. My parents spoke about me as a “traumatized child”.

I have been anorexic for years as a teenager.

I just remembered a stranger holding me in his arms as a sexual doll.




“Les mains de Mr H”. Copyright Alice Odilon 2005.


After a couple of hours of this man touching me and showing me to another man, I let them besmirch me, because I was alone this afternoon.

I was 5.




“Marie capturée par les mains de Monsieur H”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2005.


That was all I was able to know about my dark past. Nobody told me about, never I got light about it, never.

As I was born in a privileged world, I went to University and enjoyed a comfortable luxury lifestyle.

I was erudite woman with High School diploma of Fine Art in Paris.

But I began nothing, a slave of a manipulator.

I met evil via Internet.  We get in touch in a cafe in Paris, it was a Monday in February 1992.

I got a premonition this day, that something strong and shady will happened to me, but at this time, I was quiet depressed and lonely woman with a child of 2, and finally I was strongly in need of love and affection.

I invited him in my home. He didn’t really talk, sparing his voice and anger.

He was tall, thin, with huge gloomy bleak eyes,  a sort of smart black eagle coming from nowhere. Never talked.

He was staring at me, wide-eyed, listening and kept silence all the time he stayed by me on this crucial afternoon.

We made love. This amazing shabby man fully enveloped me in blindness without a word.

He came back days later and began to be intrusive and aggressive when I told him I didn’t want to have an affair with him.

I was feeling, he was taking control of my fear, my conscience. I was afraid about that.

He began to show a very bad attitude against me, screaming at me and insult me,

but I didn’t recognize anything in him that might be dangerous.

In my eyes, he was lost, fragile and needed help I was supposed to give to him generously.

He didn’t know my world, he was not interested in, indifferent to my mind, my soul, my desire.

I was paralyzed, lost, blind in a deep shady dark.

I ” felt in love with him”.

It was a conscious fall. I deliberately let me dawn.

He raised fears and hate.

I let him do what he wanted to do with me, which was a nuisance in his eyes.

I owed him my fault.

I choose him as a redemptor.

He killed me.

But I came back from death thanks to my daughters.

Meeting an anti-girl

NB: Depuis le début de ce blog, j’aurais dû mentionner que le code est le suivant:

Anorexic girl = anta-girl = disembodied person = embodied soul = bodily X metaphor = Figure A = Anorexic girl.


Amis lecteurs gardez les en mémoire, si vous en avez envie.

Reprenons: Après le difficil entrevue entre le grand homme élancé et Akan, il se passe des choses tristes dans la tête de notre héroïne: des choses amolissant, ralentissant l’envie et l’énergie de celle-ci.

Elle qui d’habitude part de rien et retrouve son tout, se situe maintenant sur une ère de rue délicate et pleine d’embûches.

A chaque pas, il faut bien regarder de tous côtés pour voir venir l’ennemi, ou l’espoir, la Figure A.

Rien n’est moins simple que de poursuivre et repartir en avant, même de travers.

Akan sait que si elle renonce, elle mourra par l’ennui et la mort dans l’âme.

Il vaut mieux aller jusqu’au bout et tenter le coup pour le tout A-Figure.

Elle n’y perdra rien, elle y perdra toute sa vie.

En s’amusant des contraires, Akan marche à côté d’une jeune fille blanche à la peau immaculée, fraîche du matin, toute neuve, éclose et pourtant……

Les rythmes des pas de nos deux personnages coïncident presque, il reste un écart imperceptible dû aux poids différents des corps.

La jeune femme petite et massive, porte son bassin comme la mort, comme une faute impardonnable, une erreur exquise, un écran à la vie.

Tout son corps est attaché à cette masse finale d’inertie.

Elle voudrait cacher çà, l’oublier, oublier son poids aveugle et sa masse réelle.

Mais elle ne peut pas, elle en fut dotée par le Dieu du malheur, lors de ses 4 ans.

De ce terrible fait elle marche lourdement, freinée par la part sourde.

D’ailleurs elle a senti le bras de Akan frôler sa robe et cela ne lui plaît pas car elle ne veut pas que l’on sente son corps, que l’on touche une parcelle de sa peau sublime, que l’on voit la largeur de ses hanches

prisonnières dans la chair opâque.

- Excusez-moi, s’écrie Akan, comme une idiote.

- Ce n’est pas grave, murmure la gamine taciturne et sombre.

- Je voulais vous dire; vous avez l’air d’une amphore, d’un vase de plomb, votre allure si épaisse et sombre me fait mal, avoue Akan, d’un flot de mots lancés.

Votre tronc est votre énigme, la question non élucidée, le sujet essentiel, que vous évitez depuis longtemps, des années, certainement.

Cette boîte en vous va rester fermée et se durcir encore, la porte ne cèdera jamais, il est trop tard.

Vous avez été traumatisée dans l’enfance par les méfaits d’un abuseur menaçant de mort votre mère, et vous avez dû la défendre nuit et jour.

Vous vous êtes perdue à vous battre contre le mal, votre mère s’en est sortie et vous a sauvée aussi, mais vous vous êtes tout de même perdue et le trauma vous a emmenée de l’autre côté, celui des méchants.

De témoins victime, vous êtes devenue un prédateur.

Les parents harceleurs font des enfants manipulables qui donnent naissance à des manipulateurs pervers narcissiques. Votre mère était manipulée par sa mère, elle est devenue anorexique pour survivre de l’emprise; Vous êtes née en 1988, Vous avez été une petite fille sage, chagrinée car vos parents se sont séparés lorsque vous aviez 3 ans.

Vous avez été mal pendant cette période, très mal, vous perdiez tout sentiment de sécurité; votre mère était seule et vous sentiez sa faiblesse et son errance.

Un jour de février 92, elle s’est perdue dans les bras d’un abuseur comme pour retrouver l’emprise sécurisante et morbide qu’elle avait connue petite fille avec sa propre mère.

Vous avez réalisé comment votre maman était manipulable et cela vous a terrorisée.

Elle vous est apparue faible et imbécile, vous avez vu son aveuglement presque aussitôt.

La manipulation mentale a été votre mécanisme de  survie.

Voyant votre mère se détruire sous l’emprise de l’abuseur.

Vous avez emprunté la stratégie du harceleur menaçant votre vie et celle de votre mère.

Cela vous a permis de ne plus avoir peur.

Mais cela ne vous a pas rendu heureuse, cela vous a donné cet air maussade, ce visage contracté de mécontentement, votre côté bilieux, votre mémoire morose.



- Non mais çà va pas, espèce de folle! comment osez-vous? vous êtes vous regardée dans une glace, horreur de ma vue, mocheté, affreuse vieille femme, vous êtes si laide, tas d’os, terrible spectre nerveux, vous n’avez pas le droit de me dire la vérité.

- Si je suis ainsi c’est que je l’ai voulu, voilà toute la différence.

je me veux maigre et ardue comme l’herbe des chemins.

Sèche et racée en hirondelle dans le ciel.

Mon pas abrite mon coeur et mon corps respire dans mes pas.

je ne transporte plus rien avec moi que moi-même et mon présent, le reste s’est envolé, le mal s’est assoupi. Des cancers j’ai fait des gallets sur la plage.

Je me suis acceptée.

- Vos dires sont infondés. j’ai en effet un corps intérieur symbole de masouffrance et mon histoire dramatique, j’ai une volonté d’acier pour combattre le mal que je vois partout.

Je dois maîtriser les gens, les séduire, les charmer, les observer, les tester, les flatter.

je dois tuer l’autre pour vivre.

Je n’ai pas le choix, c’est ma vie.

NB  Since the start of this blog I should have mentioned the following equivalence :

Anorexic girl = anta-girl = disembodied person = embodied soul = bodily X metaphor = Figure A = Anorexic girl.


Dear Readers bear this in mind if you so wish.


Let’s continue: Following the difficult meeting between the tall elegant man and Akan something sad came to pass in the mind of our heroine, something relaxing, reducing her desire and energy.

She, who normally started from nothing and yet discovered everything, found herself in a delicate situation on a road full of pitfalls.

With each step she had to look around for potential dangers, or hopefully for Figure A.

Nothing is easier than to continue and to move forward, even awry.

Akan knows that if she doesn’t she’ll die of boredom and a heavy heart.

Better to go through with it and go all out for A Figure.

She won’t loss anything; she’ll lose all her life.

Whilst reflecting on these contradictions, Akan was walking next to a pale young girl with perfect skin, fresh as a daisy, brand new, as if newly hatched and yet………….

The rhythms of their steps almost coincided, there was just an almost imperceptible difference due to their contrasting body weights.

The young girl, small and heavy built, carried her pelvis as if dead, like an unforgivable sin, a terrible error, a shield from life.

All her body is attached to this mass of death and inertia.

She would have liked to hide this, forget it, forget her weight and her true mass.

However she is incapable, she was cursed with it by the God of misfortune when she was only 4 years old.

As a result of this terrible fact she walked heavily, slowed down by her handicap.

Besides she had felt Akan’s arm graze her dress and this was unpleasant for her as she didn’t want anyone to feel her body, to touch any part of her magnificent skin, or see the size of her hips imprisoned within.

- Excuse me, exclaimed Akan like an idiot.

- It’s nothing, murmured the taciturn and gloomy young girl.

- I’d like to tell you; you look like an amphora, a vase made of lead, your appearance so solid and somber upsets me, confessed Akan, with an outpouring of words. Your body is your enigma, the unanswered question, the essential subject that you have avoided for so long, years no doubt.

This box in you will remain closed and become even more durable, the door will never open, it is too late.

You have been traumatised in childhood by the misdeeds of an abuser threatening the life of your mother, and you had to defend her night and day.

You entered perdition by fighting against this evil, your mother escaped, saving you as well, despite which you were lost, the trauma transformed you and you ended up on the side of the wicked.

From being a victim and witness you have become a predator.

Overpowering and aggressive parents produce children that are easily manipulated who themselves give birth to perverse narcissic manipulators.

Your mother had been manipulated by her mother so she became anorexic to escape this stranglehold; You were born in 1988, you were a well-behaved little girl, saddened when your parents separated when you were 3.

You were unhappy during this period, very unhappy, you lost all sense of security; your mother was alone and you sensed her weakness and wandering.

One day in February 1992 she fell for an abuser as if she wanted to return to the unhealthy sensations of her childhood being manipulated by her own mother.

You realised how easily your mother could be manipulated and that terrorised you.

She seemed weak and stupid to you, you saw how blind she was almost immediately.

Mental manipulation was your means of surviving.

Seeing your own mother self destruct under the influence of the abuser, you took on the mantel of the abuser who threatened both you and your mother.

Like this you were no longer afraid.

However this didn’t make you happy, it gave you your sulky attitude, your discontented look, your bilious manner, your morose memories.

- But who do you think you are? You’re mad! Who gave you the right?

Have you looked in a mirror recently? Awful, horrible old woman, you are so ugly, a pile of bones, a nervous wreck, you don’t have the right to tell me the truth.

- I’m like this because I want to be, that’s the big difference.

I want to be thin and tough like grass growing on paths.

Dry and racy like swallows in the sky. My steps harbour my heart and my body breathes through my steps.

I have no other baggage than myself and my present, all the rest has gone, my pain has gone to sleep. I have transformed my cancerous memories into no more than pebbles on a beach.

I have come to terms with myself.

- What you say is untrue.

Effectively I have an inner body which is a symbol

of my suffering and my dramatic past; however I have a will power of steel to fight the evil that I see everywhere.

I have to master people, seduce them, charm them, observe them, test them, and flatter them.

I need to kill others to live.

I have no choice, it’s my life.
