Walter Krause, looking back on his life so far, says that he is most grateful to his parents – his mother’s sister and her husband, who accepted Walter when his biological parents refused him. Walter was in first grade at the time. Until then, he spent his childhood with his grandmother in Madona.
“My real parents are no longer there, but I feel like I’ve talked everything out with them. Maybe not face-to-face, but emotionally,” Walter admits that he has never had contact with his father, so this relationship cannot be fully defined at all.
“I don’t know if I have the right to say that I have forgiven, but I could say that I have let go, because in my childhood I blamed them a lot for that,” says Krauze.
