“Yeah, I felt, I actually didn’t feel lost. I felt very clear but then I felt lost, if that makes sense,” Eva responded. “Then when it was like the cliche of like, ok, well, who am I now after, you know, the kids can survive on their own?”

“I mean, they’re only 8 and 10 but you know what I mean?” Eva continued. “They, they don’t need me every second, you know, it’s a little different. But I love talking to my girls about anything so I, I feel very fulfilled.”
