TV host Patricio Cabezut is experiencing profound sadness and isolation due to not seeing his two daughters for four years. The distance is a constant pain, particularly felt on days like Father's Day. He shared his feelings on social media, posting a song he authored titled "Invisible Wounds" and a video where he spoke with tearful eyes about his emotional state.

I have discovered a new way of inhabiting the world, it's like when you submerge yourself at the bottom of a pool and the water creates a bubble that isolates you from everything happening outside, perhaps, you hear distant voices, or you can see the lives of others, but you are not there with them, you feel isolated from everything and everyone.

โ€” Patricio CabezutDescribing his feelings of isolation and detachment.

Cabezut described his experience as being submerged in a bubble at the bottom of a swimming pool, isolated from the outside world. He revealed that depression often tempts him to stay in bed and avoid daily activities. This emotional struggle is compounded by a legal process initiated by his ex-wife, Aurea Zapata, who filed a complaint against him in 2024 for alleged aggravated sexual abuse.

Solitude, silence, the unproductive world of social media, and your bed attract you, depression flirts with you all day, especially in the mornings when you get up, if you manage to do so, before noon, it winks at you and whispers in your ear to convince you to stay under the covers and not exercise, procrastinate, not see or talk to anyone.

โ€” Patricio CabezutExplaining the daily battle with depression.

Speaking to "Venga la alegrรญa," Cabezut elaborated on the daily ache of not being able to hug or spend time with his daughters, Lucรญa and Fรกtima. He recalled their close relationship, where they did "all activities together all day." His television program allowed him to be present when they were not at school, highlighting the significant shift in his life.

Many more days where these girls have not been with their dad, two minors have not been able to hug, interact, and be with their dad, it's understanding that this is the life we are being forced to live, with a hole in the stomach.
