Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, has revealed her biggest fear about her kids while explaining why she is very protective of them.
Naija News reports that the mom opened up during the latest episode of her show ‘Mercy Menu’ alongside veteran actress, Shaffy Bello.
Speaking on motherhood and acting, the actress said her biggest fear is her kids going through what she faced while growing up.
According to Mercy Johnson, her children come first in everything because she experienced difficult times and her past is the reason she is very protective of them. 
In her words: “Hmm. So I saw this quote online, let me start from there. The quote said “Overprotective moms are like girls who grew up without being protected” and that meant something.
“So one of my biggest fears would be my kids going through what I went through. That emptiness and that no sense of direction. So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they come first before every other thing.
“Cause as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes. I can define hunger because I know it. I can define abuse so it is a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me, to go through.
“So they always say oh Mercy you’re so awesome awesome awesome, my past is the reason why I am very protective of my kids basically.”
