Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron feels people are “scared” to
talk about the challenges of motherhood.
The 48-year-old actress has adopted daughters Jackson (11) and
seven-year-old August. Theron shared that she can sometimes feel “alone” as a
mother and loves to hear the support of other parents who may be struggling in
certain moments, reported aceshowbiz.com.
She told US TV show Extra, “I feel like there is a lot of stuff in
raising kids that people are scared to talk about, and you feel sort of alone
with it. That’s the challenging stuff, the things that are not so pretty, that
doesn’t look like the Disney movie, the moments when you really are losing your
mind…”
“There is nothing better than when another mom looks at you and
goes, ‘I know, I know what you’re talking about,’ and that’s what I am talking
about – we have to have more of that.”
Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actress is passionate about helping
the environment and claimed that “time is running out” for those not on board
with making changes in their life as she joked that her children are more than
aware of the issue because she is so upfront about it herself.
She added, “You can’t get lost in the size of the change you are
making, you have to just know that changing one person’s life will then
continue to have more people change their lives because of that one person.”
“We are living in a world where that if you don’t have any
awareness time is running out, it is very unfortunate. We are trying to speak as
loud as we can… We are running out of time. It is not a message that has been
taken well. It sucks for (my kids). They are being raised by a mom that’s
constantly like… they are like, Yes, Mom, we know, we know.”
