12 April Selena’s mom Mandy talks how does it feel to share Selena with the world in interview with The Newsette
Selena’s mom Mandy talks with “The Newsette” about “How it feels to share Selena with the whole world” read the interview below.
Is it hard “sharing” Selena with the world, and having the entire planet love your daughter along with you?

You have two daughters. How does being a mom affect the way you discuss mental health?
I try to be as honest as possible with them in terms of what I went through. I don’t want either of them to think I was “perfect,” and they have to live up to some ideal. I’m open with them. I say, “This is what’s going on with me, and it’s a health issue.” The same way that if you have cancer, you’re not ashamed of saying, “I have cancer and here’s how I’m going to beat it.” It’s the same with mental health.
