The last Mother’s Day has been especially hard for Have him and his sister then his, Maria Teresa CamposIt is in a very delicate moment. The sisters have maintained an extraordinary zeal in recent months about the state of health of the 81-year-old presenter, but this Tuesday carmen borrego has shed light on the shadows: “There is nothing to hide or be ashamed of. It is time to let her rest, to give naturalness to what happens because it is true that we live more and more years but we get worse and this happens to many people. Mental illnesses are there and you have to know about them.”
The gathering of Save me He is having a hard time but he no longer wants to continue doing it in silence: “We are not talking about a clear disease because it is not diagnosed, but the day will come when my mother does not recognize us,” he has revealed. “Everything has gone very fast, that’s why it’s so hard. In general, people are not prepared for something like that, how to talk to a person like that, how to treat them.”
Carmen thus wanted to justify the attitude that the sisters have taken towards the situation and for which many have criticized them: “I have come to the conclusion that hiding reality is not good, it gives way to speculation and does not benefit anyone We don’t have her isolated, or locked up, or anything like that.” Both have repeatedly asked the media not to photograph her mother on the few walks she takes down the street and not to bother her: “It’s a matter of dignity.”
Borrego added: “We are very lucky to have her with us and that she still recognizes us, which is something that will be difficult for us to accept. We are doing our best. We have gone from leaning on her to having to take care of her, it is very hard. She She is the one who has always helped, has taken care of, and now she is but in a different way. Losing her makes you very dizzy.” And he has revealed some anecdotes from her day to day: “She, in her world, wants to continue working. I sit with my mother and we do rundowns together. The other day she suggested that I end the program with Gustavo (the driver) and José Carlos (Carmen’s husband) singing”, has counted between laughter and tears. “Seeing her suffer, with anxiety and seeing certain things that you can’t help her with is terrible. It’s very difficult to take care of someone like that. I would prefer that she didn’t know us, that she didn’t notice anything.”
