The life of the renowned actress, singer and former vedette Bárbara Rey, at 74 years old, is going through an extremely complex stage, marked by deep depression and the painful lack of communication with her son, Ángel Cristo. The celebration of her birthday, far from being a cause for overflowing joy, was defined by the actress herself as “normal.” Although her daughter, Sofía Cristo, and some of her friends were present, the absence of her son and the shadow of depression darkened the occasion.
The Spanish Television program Mañaneros contacted her on the occasion of her birthday to congratulate her. The former star revealed the harsh reality that she faces in these difficult times. “I’m going through the worst months of my life,” Rey confessed, evidencing the weight of the mental illness that afflicts her. In the interview, she was asked if she expected to receive any congratulatory message from her son, to which she, visibly affected, responded: “No, I don’t expect it, because I know I’m not going to receive it.” . This revelation moved the audience, showing the deep pain she feels over her emotional distance from her son.
Despite his apparent vitality, he has been receiving psychological treatment to face this difficult situation. “I’m in good health, but these last few months have been very hard for me, the hardest of my life,” she expressed sincerely; but it is true that her distance from her son has been a hard blow for the actress.
In addition to the help of her psychologist Bárbara Rey, she has the unconditional support of her friends. “I am receiving a lot of help, not only from my psychologist, who is fantastic, but also from some wonderful friends I have,” shared the artist.
His relationship with his daughter, Sofía, is a bright spot in the midst of the darkness. Barbara praised the kindness and love of her daughter, describing her as “a being of light who helps many people, first and foremost me.” Although the absence of her son hurts deeply, Barbara clings to the moments of happiness and is grateful for the presence of her daughter in her life.
In the interview with the program presented by Jaime Cantizano, Bárbara Rey highlighted that inside she is fine and that, although these last few months have been very hard, “the hardest of my life,” as she noted, she has followed the instructions received from the professionals and she has left home, she has been distracted with her friends so “that her head doesn’t spin so much” thinking about things that are not good for her.
