Actor Mehdi Malkaj has recounted one of the longest and most painful battles of his life. He has revealed his son's addiction to drugs.
Without dramatization and without victimization, the great actor spoke like a father on "Grida Duma Podcast", with simple and true words that carry weight.
"The most beautiful and happiest thing about this time was the moment when it was confirmed that the boy had won a battle," says Malkaj, calling this victory greater than any personal or professional success.
He confesses that the boy was only 15 years old when he first tried drugs, at a time when no one really understood what it was and how destructive it could be.
"Teenagers fall in love with what they see, not with what is ," says the actor, describing the addiction as a false love that lasted longer than it should have.
Malkaj speaks openly about sleepless nights, about endless searches in the streets of Tirana with his wife, about the efforts to be a friend to his son and not just an authoritarian parent. A long, tiring and uncertain road, where nothing was guaranteed.
One of the most touching moments of the story is related to the relationship between brother and sister. According to Malkaj, the sister's love became a strong light of hope and healing for the boy.
"He is now a lifetime. He has brought light, joy, and happiness to the house," says Malkaj, recalling the first family vacation in many years, where the son was at the wheel, serious and correct.
In the end, Mehdi Malkaj conveys a strong and rare message about the way drugs are talked about.
"Never curse 'we got the kids on drugs'. It's a big, very big fight," he says, acknowledging that vigilance never ends, but believing that love, family and time can work miracles.
