It has been almost a year Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt parted ways with each other in the most publicized manner. While Pitt has spoken post split several times, Jolie opens up on the subject for the first time, in a recent interview with Vogue. The actor talks about the adjustments she had to make and the growing responsibilities on her as a single mother.

“I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot; I do not want my children to be worried about me,” Jolie shared whose mother Marcheline Bertrand separated from her father, Jon Voight when she was young. “I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right even when you’re not sure it is.”

Jolie also shared that the couple’s lifestyle and work schedule was never the reason behind their partition, as a lot of reports suggested. But she did admit that by summer of 2016, “things got really bad” and the two ended up taking different paths.

Speaking about the efforts she is putting in to be good at household work, she said, “I’ve been trying for nine months to be really good at just being a homemaker and picking up dog poop and cleaning dishes and reading bedtime stories. And I’m getting better at all three. I just want to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. As I go to sleep at night, I think, did I do a great job as a mom or was that an average day?”
