Angelina Jolieis speaking out about her divorce and lengthy custody battle with ex-husbandBrad Pitt.
“I’m not the kind of person who makes decisions like the decisions I had to make lightly. It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children,” the Oscar-winning actress and humanitarian, 46, said in a new interview withThe Guardian’s Weekend magazine.

Jolie said she’s “realizing that sometimes you can survive things, but not know how to feel and live in the same way.” “So it’s more about being open. I’m really trying to be open as a human being again,” she added.
“I want us to heal and be peaceful. We’ll always be a family,” she added.
Jolie also talked about her family’s bond.
“Within the understanding that they are family comes a lot of awareness that has to be born of all the years of them growing up together, learning from each other, discussing adoption, race and family,” theEternalsstar told the outlet. “Having people say: how could you be sisters, you’re not the same color, when you’re a little kid. Going to each other’s countries and being the only person of their background in that country and feeling outside, yet it’s your family.”
