“Even before leaving, he was not often with me
,” describes Christophe Dechavanne in the France 5 talk before remembering an afternoon of hunting with his father which had almost ended in tragedy for the young boy he he was:

“He was alcohol dependent and this illness is very sad. These are people who need help. It’s a shitty disease that you can’t get out of on your own like that. You shouldn’t joke about that

It’s funny because I’ve met lots of people who lost parents young and who have this anxiety of reaching at least that age
,” continues Christophe Dechavanne.
