Soledad Onetto gave an extensive interview to the Spanish newspaper El País, where he spoke at length about the first three months of his son Borja’s life.
In this sense, the journalist reflected on several aspects, although one especially caught her attention: her fears regarding motherhood.
In this sense, Onetto assured that for the first time “he is afraid to die”, the above related to the upbringing of your child.
“The first time we went to the pediatrician, she said to me, “How are you?” I’m fine, I told him, but I’m basically afraid he’s going to drown. It is my permanent, constant fear, at night, during the day. And she tells me: “I have bad news for you. From here on out that fear will only mutate, because it will remain until the day you die,” she indicated.
“And that’s one part of being a mother, although of course it’s not all. And perhaps something that describes it well is that for the first time I am afraid of dying. “Once I said it to a group and they were very surprised,” he added.
“I said: ‘If life wants to take me today, let it take me. Because I have really done everything I have wanted, there is nothing where I have restricted myself or not achieved a dream. I have done everything, not only professionally, but personally as well. I have fallen in love, I have been close to my parents, I have participated in parties, recitals, I have been really very happy,” he continued.
“But now, for the first time, for Borja, I am afraid of dying, afraid that my son will be left without me. And for him I want to live as long as possible,” he concluded.
On the other hand, the news reader assured that she is currently going through one of the best moments of her life.
“I feel like I am in a transcendental moment in my life. I am not going to lecture that the above was not the case and that this is really the life for which we were called, because I do not think about it or feel it either,” he explained.
“For many years I personally defended the idea, not before anyone and much less publicly, of not wanting to have children. And I maintain it: not all women are called to be mothers. Not wanting to have children is very legitimate. Personally, and now that this process has passed, I can only say that it would not have been good to miss this experience. I had to live it, to experience it, to enjoy it and suffer it,” she concluded.
It should be noted that little Borja was born on February 1, a fact that was even celebrated on Channel 13.
