It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce with children. Very, very hard.

I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.

Having a parent live with you under the best of circumstances can be a terrible stressor.

I react to stress badly. I handle it better these days. But I'm a very straightforward person.

It's incredibly stressful when the person you love is having a child.

There's a lot of weight on the shoulders of a single parent, and that's taken a lot of energy away from me. It was always in the back of my mind that I had to do it, and I couldn't count on anybody. There was no one around to pay for me to get through life.

Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.

I didn't realise how hard it was to be a mom and keep it all together.

Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

I was an unhappy child, and that puts me off having a child of my own.
