In a recent interview, Angelina Jolie got honest about parenting children alone, following split with Brad Pitt.

The actress revealed that being a single mom has been a source of strength. It helped her avoid “much darker” paths in life, especially after her high-profile separation from Brad Pitt.

Becoming a mother at the age of 26 was a transformative experience for Jolie. She expressed that parenthood changed her life completely, acting as a lifesaver and teaching her to navigate the world differently.

“I think, recently, I would've gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them. They're better than me, because you want your children to be.”
