With a shot published on Instagram, the couple made their relationship official, showing a serene Chiara, ready to live this new phase with enthusiasm and authenticity.
Men and Women, the sad personal confession of former suitor Chiara Rabbi
During his Participation to podcast “Under the Skin”, Chiara Rabbi shared some very personal aspects of her life, speaking openly about the difficult family context in which she grew up. She said that, for her, her father has always represented the only true fixed point, a fundamental figure to whom all her most beautiful childhood memories are linked.
In his profound and touching story, he did not hide his severe judgement towards the mother, describing a complex situation in which the father allegedly was the victim of psychological violence on the part of the woman. Chiara explained that she had never felt an authentic bond with the maternal figure, and that she had never experienced that idea of a “traditional family” that society tends to impose.
"Despite the lack of a female figure, which in reality has always been there my paternal grandmother, we have cleared what society imposes on you: I can say that it is not like that, the family does not necessarily have to have a mother and a father. I grew up with my father, I would have preferred perhaps another male figure. Sometimes toxic presence is worse, absence is better".
The former suitor also reflected on the role of law in family dynamics difficult, arguing that, in her opinion, legal protections often favor women, neglecting men who need protection. She said that her parents had married very young, when her father was 23 and her mother 22, after a brief acquaintance.
"My mother is not a very stable person.. Dad waits until I'm 12/13, then he leaves and I decide to go with him. She never wanted to be a mother, she was the 'wife of' and we were toys”.
Following some comments received on social media, where several users wrote to her that "forgiveness must be given to everyone”, Chiara replied decisively:
"If one of them were to pass away tomorrow, I would be sorry, but as I would be for any human being. Nothing more, nothing less. Because they are not part of my life, even if we shared the same blood. And no, there is nothing to resolve, the knot that you think is there, I have already untied it. And do you know what was inside? Freedom. The freedom of not having to pretend affection. The freedom of not having to feel guilty. The freedom to choose who is family and who is not”.
Chiara stated with conviction that, even in the face of death, he would consider a rapprochement right. She wouldn’t do it to ease the conscience of others, nor to conform to a collective idea of “common sense” that doesn’t reflect the way she has experienced relationships. She explained that, in a similar situation, pretending or putting herself aside to please social expectations would only cause her more suffering.
For her, true peace would rather coincide with the lucidity of remaining true to herself, even staying at home, serene, perhaps toasting her own coherence and the dignity with which she has chosen to face the past. She does not feel the need to love someone just because "she should": not out of coldness, but out of awareness.
“And to those who tell me that I have unfinished business… I answer like this: no, I closed the account. And that's exactly why I live lightly."
