Gloria Camila Ortega has always been very vocal about her mental health problems. The daughter of José Ortega Cano and Rocío Jurado revealed months ago that she had decided to go to specialized treatment, and to be able to give a new perspective or manage her concerns.
One of her biggest personal problems today is her way of handling criticism for being a public figure as the daughter of who she is. Above all, because of her adopted status, something that has caused her many problems throughout her life. It was now that she wanted to talk about the subject and reveal for the first time how she found out about this great secret.
José Ortega Cano’s daughter turned to her social networks to talk about this topic, acknowledging that she herself had “had a hard time talking about this,” although it was the most recurring topic in her therapy sessions.
“Until I started serious therapy, I didn’t understand what was happening to me, or that sensitivity I had. I have been suffering about this for a long time. I am always criticized for adoption. It has always been painted as something bad, negative, but I I see it as something positive,” the young woman begins.
Gloria Camila admits to having vague memories about that moment, since she was only three years old when she arrived in Spain in 1999 – her brother José Fernando was six. “I don’t know why we are in an orphanage, why we were up for adoption,” she admits. “People like me who have lived in an orphanage and a family comes that wants to give us love, shelter… When they adopt us we see it as something positive because it is like a new life,” she explains.
The young woman is happy, proud and grateful for this opportunity in her new life, and always will be. She has never had any interest in meeting her birth family. “For me, my only family is the one that has loved and cared for me.”
She found out that she was adopted at school, admitting that she has never talked about it with her parents. A detail that may have contributed to her abandonment trauma, just as she did at the premiere of Rocío Carrasco’s docuseries.
Rocío Jurado’s daughter became Rocío Carrasco’s little sister, who was also a fundamental piece in her adoption process and carrying out the foster care procedures. The daughter of Chipionera and Pedro Carrasco was 22 years old at that time, and her life was somewhat turbulent, but she could not be happier for the arrival of her brothers and that her mother was experiencing motherhood. with Ortega Cano.
Rocío Carrasco became an older sister, but also the legal guardian of the two children so that, in case something happened to their parents, they would have someone to stay with and ensure that they were properly cared for.
At that time she was separating from Antonio David Flores, which is why she was not present at the massive presentation of the children in La Moraleja. 22 years later, she is not in any kind of relationship, and it does not seem like she is going to recover.
