00:07None of your children want to go into acting. How are you coping?
00:10I think it's the most wonderful profession in the world. I wish all three of them wanted to be actors.
00:16At least I could lend them a hand with something, because if they're doctors, you'll give me everything they need.
00:19I've done a cable. But I'm passionate about acting, so it would be
00:28That's absurd, because all professions are difficult. How did Martina come into your life?
00:33Martina arrived when I was three months old, and well, she's my eldest daughter, Martina. Ethiopia was one of
00:42The countries that allowed single-parent adoption. I loved Africa, there was also Russia and
00:50There was such a thing, but Africa is a country that has always drawn me in. Why? Because the difficulty isn't
00:58It's here. Here you can adopt as a single parent. What you can't do is get a
01:04Certificate of autonomy for a country that does not accept single parenthood.
01:11Do you remember the moment you held her in your arms?
01:15Perfect. We have a picture from that day, right? The most beautiful thing in the world. Martina
01:25She's the oldest, she's the first, and I'm going through what we both experienced. What we both experienced, the
01:36first five
01:37For years, it was just the two of us. And that has created a very strong bond between us.
01:44You are a single mother of three children. How do you cope with that?
01:48I was clear that I didn't understand motherhood the same way I did with a partner. In other words, I didn't see motherhood as something I did with a partner.
01:54I feel it. I feel it, and I don't want to blame anyone for something they don't want to be responsible for either, you know?
02:01That's why I have three, and all three of them are with me. Well, the two of us have... The thing is, the
02:10I have custody too. I prefer to make the decisions myself. No, I mean, that way there's no fight. Especially
02:19When the decisions are given to me to make, it stresses me out to be constantly arguing about
02:26Reaching agreements. That does create a lot of stress for me. But otherwise, no. Quite the opposite.
02:33Are you a controlling mother?
02:35Here, the ones in control are them. And them. I mean, my daughter always says I'm very liberal.
02:42I'm too liberal. That's what she says. But it's true that I set limits, but I'm not a police officer.
02:50I don't like using a cane. But yes... Of course, limits have to be set. Absolutely.
02:57And what's more, I have two teenagers at home now. And a nine-year-old who's a real handful.
03:02Yes, bye, bye.
03:04Bye.
03:05Bye.
03:06Bye.
03:07Bye.
03:07Thanks for watching the video.
