Why I Disliked My Mother, Wished Her Dead While Growing Up – Chacha Eke Recounts

Nigerian film actress, Charity Eke aka Chacha Eke-Faani has disclosed that she developed deep hatred for her mother and even wished for her death while growing up.

She said her hatred for her mother was caused by a mental disorder “that switches your favourite to your least favourite.”

The thespian said her hatred for her mother was further compounded by fake revelations from so-called men of God who told her that her mum was after her life.

The mother of four revealed this while celebrating her mother’s birthday via her Instagram page on Wednesday.

Sharing a video of herself and her mother, she captioned it, “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.”

The actress said she was grateful to have realised her hatred for her mother was as a result of her mental health while her mother was still alive.

She said despite her struggle with mental illness, her mother still raised a “queen.”

She advised others suffering from similar disorders to seek medical help.
