The needs of babies and toddlers were constant and drained the life out my sense of self and my family's relationship with each other.

There was a special challenge in describing the awful childhood of a person who happens to be my own husband. It was very painful at times, for both of us.

The divorce was the toughest thing in my life. It still hurts.

Divorce was miserable, as it always is, and we divorce for the same reasons we marry.

I didn't want to get married, and I didn't want kids - I knew I wanted to act.

As a child I was not allowed to express my feelings, so I had to go back through therapy and express the child's pain.

I hated to be treated as a child. I thought it was the worst situation.

Although my marriage left me with three beautiful children, it also left me with a healthy dose of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and an extreme desire to be loved again. I was operating on empty, expecting to be paid in full.

It's not easy to walk out on a marriage and two young kids, and it's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.
