Popular Nollywood actress, ChaCha Eke Faani, has shared the reason she felt a deep resentment towards her mother while growing up.
The actress, who recently celebrated her mother’s birthday used the occasion to reflect on her troubled relationship with her mother.
Chacha disclosed that as she grew older, she started to feel disdain and hatred towards her mother. She also experienced nightmares and hallucinations that reinforced her negative feelings towards her mother.
Additionally, some religious leaders told her that her mother was trying to harm her, which further fueled her animosity towards her mother. She even wished her mother death at some point.
She wrote;
“This is a video of me and my biological Mom. I loved her intensely when I was younger. She was, and still is my best friend. However, as I got older, I began to dislike and develop a deep hatred for her. I had nightmares and hallucinations that supported my euphoria.
“Sadly, many men of God told me after several man!c episodes that she was after my life. And so I went about wishing her death and spewing despicable things about her.
“Looking back now at my mental health challenges and journey, it’s laughable to know that those dysfunctional thought patterns and beliefs of mine were a disorder, a chemical reaction in the brain waves that switches your “most favorite” to “your least favorite”.
There’s nothing quite as special as the unique and unbreakable relationship between a mother and her daughter. Mothers want what’s best for their children and daughters look up to their mothers for inspiration and advice. The relationship may shift and change as time goes on but one thing always remains the same: the unconditional love that they have for each other.
