Nigerian Nollywood actress Chacha Eke Faani has admitted that she once wished her mother had never existed after being warned by “men of God” that her mother was out for her life.
On June 7, Chacha revealed this information in a post on her Instagram account.
She reminisced in the article how as a child, she had a strong love for her mother and considered her as her best friend. She developed a great loathing for her mother as she grew older, though, as a result of the dark turn her emotions took.
Chacha claimed to have had nightmares and hallucinations that seemed to confirm her flawed assumptions.
She regrettably came across some’men of God’ who confirmed her misguided view of her mother during bouts of mental illness.
They persuaded her to believe her mother was evil and that made her to wish her mother death.
“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 her and developed a deep hatred for her. I experienced nightmares and hallucinations that supported my misguided euphoria.
“Unfortunately, many ‘men of God’ told me during several manic episodes that she was plotting against my life. Consequently, I found myself wishing for her death and saying despicable things about her.
“Looking back now at my mental health challenges and journey, it’s laughable to realize that those dysfunctional thought patterns and beliefs were a disorder; a chemical reaction in the brain waves that switches your ‘most favorite’ to ‘your least favorite’.
“Dear reader, many people have been emotionally torn apart from their loved ones due to underlying mental conditions. They create all sorts of negative stories to justify their deluded claims. Fortunately, there are pills for those strange, inexplicable feelings. Did you know?
“Today is my mother’s birthday, and I’m grateful to have realized that it was all a sickness in my head while she is still alive. I love you deeply, Mommy. You are a blessed woman with nine grandchildren and still counting. ????” She wrote.
