“In the last seven years, since my mother “left”, the title I would put is “transformation”, “transformation on all levels”. I wish he was here to have seen this transformation. I would love to. Even though I feel like she’s everywhere, I often make the move to call her to tell her what I’ve done. A mother is a mother. At whatever age you lose her, she is a mother. You miss.
You can’t help but miss it. On the other hand, our losses make us stronger. We cannot move forward in life if we do not suffer. I’ve changed a lot in the last few years and I’ve gotten a lot of strength from the pain of loss, a lot of strength. Too much pain and too much power.
The hardest part you go through is the pain and you go through it alone. In your pain, in your darkness, in essence there is no one next to you and without any substance, without alcohol, without food, being alone in a room and being pressured, in pain, not going for the easy solution. This has now become my experience, this is how I now overcome situations” initially stated Maria Eleni Lykourezou.
“It was a very dark period of losing my mom. I was 15 years old when I started drugs and I stopped at 25, it’s been 21 years since then… I was reborn then. They always say you are born again when you stop drugs and start from the age you started them again. In those 21 years various things happened, losing my mother was one of them and I could have turned back to drugs or alcohol to cope. This was a test for me.
I passed it alone with water, without falling into the food, the pills. I didn’t get anything at the funeral either. I didn’t need it, but it hurts more. But when you get over it, you feel stronger. I am a different person. We all grow up and change, if we don’t change it’s death, evolution and change are vital” he added.
“I entered theater after seven years, last year. I didn’t want to go in, I couldn’t, I was suffocating. Where I grew up in dressing rooms and theaters. I went in again last year for a while and loved it. I’m preparing something but I’m focused on Life coaching” he revealed at another point.
“I didn’t go anywhere to get well when I quit drugs. It’s not just the drugs, it’s the parties, the alcohol. I have a different daily life in the last many years… But again, this is something that can change… I was a vegetarian for 14 years and for the last four I’ve been eating meat again, I’ve had various problems, I’ve needed to eat meat. He saved me” said Maria Eleni Lykourezou.
At another point, the daughter of Zoi Laskaris and Alexandros Lykourezos, also referred to her father saying, “My dad was a busy man. Practically he could not be next to me emotionally. Mother is different, she understands. When I quit drugs, at 25, before I went to rehab I talked to him and told him what I had done because, because there is a lot of gossip, I wanted him to know what he would say about his daughter. I told him everything and he looked at me puzzled. He knew nothing…
He didn’t say much, but I could tell there was an understanding. He used to be intense, now he’s not… I was very close to my mother, there was this bond because we spent time together, we hung out a lot… Because I grew up in a house where things were always heard, I’m a bit insensitive to gossip. The other person’s opinion does not concern me”.
“I don’t live for the opinion of others. When I was little, because I didn’t like bad things being said about my parents, I was sad. Later, because I found my strength and I know exactly who my parents are, I don’t care about the opinion of others…” he said.
“This one will be found. I still haven’t found him. I had a great relationship, broke up. I’ve been through a lot. I don’t want to have a relationship just for the sake of it. I’m fine as I am. I would remarry. I was 19 when I got married. Now I’m 46” concluded Maria Eleni Lykourezou about her personal life.
