«I think it helped me a lot to go to church»

In another part of this interview, the singer revealed that having gone to church a lot helped her to forgive her father, who is currently in jail: «I cannot judge him, I don’t know what happened to him, in fact I’ve never talked to him about this… I do want to hear the words ‘forgive me’ from him, but it’s still a gift that I give myself by forgiving him, I don’t want to bear that burden.”

“It’s something that happened to me, but I’m not going to carry this all my life, I’m going to be bitter (if I do)! And I wasn’t born to be bitter. I feel bad for him because he has many years to go (in jail). But he has to deal with that with God,» said Chiquis. With information from Telemundo and Univision.
