We have always seen Lei Kraja smiling and sunny in interviews, but today was a little harder than the others. That's because she touched on one of the most delicate topics for her, a topic she had never discussed publicly, her parents' divorce.
Invited to "N'fermë", Lei and Ervin had one of those conversations that really touches the heart. The model and moderator talked about the difficult way she had experienced her parents' decision, which as she confessed, actually changed things for the better.
"The most difficult period was when my parents divorced. I was very small. I was 14 years old and I experienced it very badly ... We were four children, maybe because I was the eldest I felt it a lot. There was simply no peace in the house. It is normal when two people separate, maybe ... but it is also the way Albanians manage it, they did not manage it well at that moment. "I'm fine now, but that year I was very upset, it seemed like the end of the world to me," Lei confessed, adding that he cried every day and was a little depressed, did not eat well and dropped out of school significantly.
Asked who she stayed with by her parents, she said that they actually sent her to Albania and spent that period in Shkodra.
“Më nisën në Shqipëri, kam qëndruar në Shkodër. Qëndrova një vit aty për ta kaluar, sa të sistemoheshin ata. Mbase kjo është arsyeja pse e kam kaq shumë qejf Shqipërinë... Çdo gjë ndodh për një arsye. Realisht atëherë e përjetova shumë keq, ndërsa tani jam shumë e lumtur që prindërit e mi janë ndarë, sepse asnjë martesë nuk duhet të shtyhet sa për hir të fëmijëve, opinionit, njerëzve, kulturës...”
Lei u shpreh se asokohe mendonte se asgjë s’do ishte më njësoj, por gjërat ndryshuan për mirë. E pyetur për ngrohtësinë që i kanë dhënë prindërit, ajo u përgjigj:
"They gave me warmth in their own way ... Listen, when my parents separated, my mother worked harder and focused a lot on work, on herself, made many sacrifices, worked 7 days a week. He tried to be as present as possible, but the idea is that maybe we lacked the closeness we needed ... Either you will work, or you will stay at home, you can not do both. "
Ervin finally asked her what Lei would do with the children in the future, which her parents did not.
"I do not want to speak badly, because they were there for me in difficult moments, mom and dad ... I would just talk more with my children, I would not prejudice them. "I would like to be closer, to be understood, because everyone is different," she said.
Lei closed the interview by saying that even if she is in a marriage that is not going well, she will separate and added that there is life even after the separation!
