‘It means I don’t have to worry about what medication she should be taking and what doctors she should be talking to. She has been so well and I can’t be more happy.’
Betty said her family helped out caring for her beloved mum while she was filming MKR.
‘It was playing on my mind,’ she admitted.
‘You’re stressed on the show and of course you’re stressed being away from home but then it was so hard not being able to be there for her.
‘I was very fortunate that mum was doing great and that I had uncles and aunties who would call me and let me know she was going ok.’
Betty explained it’s very common for people who become blind to struggle with their mental health.
‘I think the biggest thing for someone who loses their sight is to know that their life isn’t over,’ she reasoned.
‘For her to fight through the mental side of it I found that amazing. Sometimes I look at myself and ask what I’m complaining for.’
