She stated,
“I talk to my kids about drugs and the fact that their daddy is an addict and he’s in recovery, and we talk about s*x. There are all these ‘hard topics’ that don’t have to be if you give the person on the other end your vulnerability and a little bit of credit.”

The actress shared that making amends and apologizing is one of the most important things in her family and would want her daughters to follow the same. She stated,
“Making amends and apologizing is an important thing in our family because humans leave carnage wherever they go. If there’s one thing I want to teach my kids, it’s to make amends, and that it’s for themselves, so they can like who’s in the mirror a little bit more.”
