It was the roughest time in my life. Connie helped me through it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My life was pretty rough.
It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel.
My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.
I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.
I kind of went through a rough period. I could have kept going down that road and then off the cliff and into the ocean.
Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.
It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce with children. Very, very hard.
I did this role in Life Goes On as an HIV positive character and so emotionally that was the most challenging.
The biggest thing I've had to overcome was clinical depression. Your mind is the most powerful weapon you have once you can get control of your mind... I had to stop hearing the negative voices where Jennifer was not worthy of love or living.
Tell me, Connie, is your mother still dead?
