In a candid revelation, Angelina Jolie delves into the intricacies of her divorce from Brad Pitt, shedding light on the profound impact it had on both herself and her six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, and Vivienne.
Reflecting on the challenging period, Jolie credits her children with saving her from potential darkness, stating, "My children saved me; they prevented my head from going to darker places." Becoming a mother at 26 marked a transformative chapter in her life, and she acknowledges that her children have become a source of inspiration and strength, surpassing her own qualities.
At 48, Jolie reveals she is still in the process of self-discovery, emphasizing a decade-long period during her relationship with Pitt where she did not feel like herself. Despite the difficulties and vulnerability she faced, she expresses a renewed focus on living for her children.
The aftermath of the divorce has brought to light a contentious dispute over the vineyards the former couple owns in France. In August, a revealing email from Jolie to Pitt was made public, outlining her decision to sell the $164 million property.
The letter highlighted the emotional significance of Miraval, serving as a family business, a venue for shared experiences, and a place where they celebrated milestones. However, Jolie expressed concerns about the business's focus on alcohol and Pitt's behavior, citing inconsiderate actions and financial decisions that did not align with her values.
Despite the challenges, Jolie maintains a forward-looking perspective, focusing on her children's well-being and her own journey of healing and self-discovery.
