Nadia has always been open about her struggles with mental health, and when everything happened, she needed to prioritise her well-being. She expressed feeling triggered by the situation and the fear that had prevented her from sharing her truth.
“I’ve always been open about the fact that I suffer with my mental health. When all of this happened, the first thing that I needed to do was make sure that I wake up every morning. I felt extremely triggered by everything. So the only thing that I can do right now, is share my truth. And that I feel I have not been able to do out of fear,” she said.
According to Nadia, she and her brother do not have a relationship, and she can’t even remember the last time they saw each other in person. She emphasised that her mother is aware of her feelings towards him. Nadia has spent her life trying to distance herself from her brother and prove that she is not like him.
Nadia also revealed that she has been deprived of a relationship with her nieces and nephews due to her brother’s alleged actions. She no longer wants anything to do with him and stands on the side of justice, regardless of their familial ties.
“I have my own personal experiences with him. I don’t know what receipts or what dirt you have of me over the past ten years that you speak of, but I’m not scared of you any more, and whatever you say … this has been the theme of my life with just feeling fear of what you can say or this or that …
“I don’t care about what you can say because I know in my hurt … how you made me feel, and the trauma that you caused me. I stand on the side that gives justice, whether you are my family or not.”
Throughout the video, Nadia expressed her vulnerability and acknowledged her struggles with her mental health. She admitted to feeling numb and shared that she is taking each day as it comes, with the support of her loved ones.
“As I’m sitting here I honestly feel numb. I’m going to do what I can to fill my cup. I’ve cried. And I’ve had dark thoughts. I’m grateful that I have a support system around me.”
Nadia concluded by apologising to her followers if they felt disappointed and assured them that she is doing her best. She emphasised the importance of prioritising self-care and filling her own cup.
