Why I Wanted My Mom Dead- Actress Cha Cha Eke Shares Details
Nollywood actress and proud mother of four, Charity Eke popularly known as Cha Cha Eke has shockingly revealed that she hated her mom and wanted her dead.
In a post on her Instagram page, the actress admitted having a strong affection for her mother when she was much younger but as she grew older, she started to have a profound hatred for her and even desired her death.
She admitted that after certain men of God warned her that her mother was out for her life, the hostility just grew stronger. She claimed that after learning about her mental health issues and faulty thought patterns, she learned to know herself better.
In order to raise awareness of mental health issues and honour her mother on her birthday, Cha Cha Eke discussed this element of her relationship with her mother. In the end, she regretted what she had done, despite her mental condition having played a role.
Sharing a video of herself and her mum, 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 deep hatred for her. I had nightmares and hallucinations that supported my euphoria. Sadly, many men of God told me after several manic 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 favourite” to “your least favourite”.
Dear reader, many people have been emotionally torn apart from their loved ones due to underlying mental conditions. They’d come up with all sorts of negative stories to back up their disillusioned claims. Thankfully, there are pills for those weird inexplicable feelings. Did you know?
Today is my mother’s birthday and I’m grateful to have realized it was all a sickness in my head while she’s still alive. I love you deeply Mommy. You’re a blessed Woman. 9 Grandchildren and still counting
Mental illness or not, Momma raised a Queen”
