Popular Nigerian actor and activist, Yomi Fabiyi, has delivered a thought-provoking message, asserting that “a child’s first enemy is an unhealed parent.”
In a powerful statement shared on his Instagram page, which has since gone viral, Fabiyi reflected on the damaging effects of unresolved emotional wounds carried by parents and the unintended harm these issues can inflict on their children. He warned that many parents, unknowingly or otherwise, become obstacles in their children’s lives when they engage in destructive behaviors like lying, blackmail, and manipulation for their own selfish gains.
Fabiyi urged parents to engage in self-healing, emphasizing that the consequences of their unresolved issues can often be passed down to their children.
In his post, he cautioned, “Children beware. A child’s first enemy is an unhealed parent. Some parents are enemies of their children. They engage in terrible lies, blackmail, and dirty wickedness in their favor at the expense of their children.”
The message has resonated with many, sparking conversations about the importance of emotional healing and the responsibility parents have in fostering healthy environments for their children’s growth. Fabiyi’s words reflect his commitment to advocating for mental and emotional well-being, both in his personal life and through his public platform.
