Taking to her Instagram page on Wednesday, the actress shared a heartfelt account of her evolving relationship with her mother.

She attributed these negative emotions to the nightmares and hallucinations she experienced, which fueled her growing animosity towards her mother.

Cha Cha recalled, “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 a deep hatred for her. I had nightmares and hallucinations that reinforced my aversion.”

During manic episodes, various religious leaders informed Cha Cha that her mother posed a threat to her life. This information further deepened her negative thoughts and led her to harbor bad wishes of her mother.
