Actress Lyka Ugarte attempts suicide for the fourth time


 
"...ang pumapasok sa isip ko is they are better off without me. Because I made a lot of mistakes and I think I'm not an ideal mom, which my children would always deny. They always say that 'you're such a cool and good mom.' But during the moments of depression, because I am certified clinically depressed, that's how I think about it, you know? But I do think of them, I always do," says Lyka Ugarte when asked if she thinks about her children every time she tries to kill herself.

Mismong ang anak ni Lyka Ugarte ang dumulog sa ilang entertainment press tungkol sa sitwasyon ng kanyang ina na nagtangka na namang magpakamatay dahil sa matinding depression and financial problem nito.

 

Ayon sa taped interview ng Showbiz Central sa 19-year-old daughter ni Lyka na si Kimberly Lao, sinabi nitong, "Pinipilit na nga niyang mag-move on in life, tapos biglang may darating ulit. So, it gets harder and harder for her."

 

Kuwento ng anak ni Lyka, apat na beses na raw nagtangkang magpakamatay ng kanyang ina.

 

"Yung una was sa Mom niya, noong magkaproblem sila ng lola ko. Then, yung pangalawa at pangatlo, dahil dun sa relationship niya," sabi ni Kimberly.

 

Na-interview rin ng Showbiz Central ang character actress na si Melissa Mendez, isa sa malapit na kaibigan ni Lyka. Naikuwento nga nito na nagte-text sa kanya si Lyka "to pray for her na sana she would not wake up anymore because of the burden she has on her shoulders."

 

Through a text message ay humingi ng tulong si Kimberly sa Startalk pagkatapos nitong maisugod ang kanyang ina sa hospital dahil sa suicide attempt nito. Ayon kay Kimberly, sa mga nakaraang suicide attempts ng kanyang ina ay siya lang mag-isa ang nagha-handle rito.

 

"Yung mga dati niya, nag-try akong i-handle na ako lang. Siguro kapag may ibang taong pumasok, or siguro I'll ask help from other people, it might help more," aniya.

 

Ang bagong dahilan daw ng tangkang pagpapakamatay ni Lyka ay financial problem.

 

"Marami kasing nangyayari like, yun nga, yung bagyo," banggit ni Kimberly. "Nagbebenta nga kami ng gamit and as you can see, wala na kaming gamit. So, ano pa ang ibebenta namin? So, saan na kami kukuha ng pera?"

 

Pero kung mga kaibigan daw ni Lyka ang tatanungin, may iba pa raw pinag-uugatan ang problema sa pera ng aktres.

 

Ayon kay Maria Isabel Lopez, "Masyado kasi siyang magastos. Medyo compulsive siya pagdating sa pera."

 

Bukod pa raw rito ang mapait na pagtatapos ng two-year relationship ni Lyka.

 

"We try to understand naman. You reach a point na ayaw mo na rin. Parang ganun. Pang-apat na beses na 'to,  siguro naman, hindi na natin ito uulitin," pahayag ng anak ni Lyka sa pagitan ng pagluha.

 

Ipinakilala si Lyka sa pelikulang May Lamok Sa Loob ng Kulambo (1984) kung saan bida sina Eddie Garcia at Gloria Diaz. Itinuturing na isa sa pinakamagandang mukha sa showbiz noon si Lyka.

 

LYKA'S LIVE INTERVIEW. Pagkatapos ng taped interview kay Kimberly ay live namang nakausap ni Raymond Gutierrez si Lyka sa studio ng Showbiz Central kahapon, October 19.

 

Tinanong ni Raymond si Lyka kung everytime ba na nagtatangka siyang magpakamatay ay naiisip niya ang kanyang mga anak, na iiwan niya amg mga ito nang walang magulang?

 

"Actually, yes, naiisip ko sila," sagot ni Lyka. "Pero ang pumapasok sa isip ko is they are better off without me. Because I made a lot of mistakes and I think I'm not an ideal mom, which my children would always deny. They always say that 'you're such a cool and good mom.' But during the moments of depression, because I am certified clinically depressed, that's how I think about it, you know? But I do think of them, I always do."

 

Every time something like this happens in the home, ano ang sinasabi ng mga anak niya sa kanya? How do they try to make her feel better?

 

"Actually, every time I do it, they don't know. You do not try to kill yourself in front of people naman, di ba?" medyo natatawang sabi ni Lyka. "So, I try doing it normally when they are asleep. But after it happens, we don't really talk about it. It's like a silent understanding. But every time it happens, I know that my children really go out of their way to make me happy, do kalokohans, so I could laugh, especially Kimberly."

 

Si Kimberly ang tumatayong emotional support ngayon ni Lyka at siya ring nag-send ng text messages to help her out. How does she feel na pati si Kimberly ay tila naggi-give up na rin?
