We could say it was a shock since no one expected their relationship to reach that point. Until last year in November Sophia Patheka and Leonidas Papastavrou, appeared together and looked good.

Now she has rented an apartment very close to the house where her children live with their father Leonidas Papastavrou – so as not to disturb their daily life – and spoke about the difficult decision of the divorce to the newspaper Espresso and Despina Dimitriou.

“A divorce is a bereavement. I have lived with my ex-husband longer than my parents since we were together for 23 years and I left home to study at 17. It was not an easy decision as there are two children who are over everything and everyone. That’s what I thought and left, the good of my children. My children were the ones who pushed me to make this decision, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to do this. Since then I feel better as a mother, I feel better as a woman and as a housewife”, said Sofia Patheka initially and continued:

“I tried for many years to save my marriage, more than a decade, but I was always so hardworking to be able to offer my best to my children, that I didn’t have time to think about myself. There were enormous difficulties, moral, psychological, social.

I had a very difficult time, it was the most difficult decision of my life. But I have no regrets and I wouldn’t want to turn back time.”

Sophia and Leonidas at the beginning of their relationship

“I have found the Sophia I had lost,” she says characteristically and answers about her current relationship with her ex-husband in an indirect way:

“I don’t know if people who don’t have respect in marriage can have it in divorce. I don’t know if people who didn’t get along in marriage, have after separation.
He’s moved on and I know he’s happy and he’s happy and I’m happy for him.”
