In a way that I was in another prison cell because I could, you know, look out of my window when I was in prison. I couldn't even do that when I first came home because there were paparazzi standing outside, like right outside of my house, just pointing their cameras at my windows. And so we had to have all of the windows closed and like shuttered and draped.
And I remember feeling really claustrophobic, like, oh, my God, oh, my God, I thought I was going to come out of prison. And now I'm feeling even more trapped. I can't leave my house. I can't leave my room. I can't open the windows. I can't, like, I was struggling with panic attacks.

Yeah, absolutely. I think all of my family was really, was fighting to get Amanda home again, right? Like they had given up so much of their lives and upended everything. Everything came about saving Amanda. And I think there was a level of disappointment when they realized that, yes, they had gotten Amanda out of prison, but they hadn't actually saved Amanda. Because...

the girl who I was who had never had anything bad happen to her who trusted everyone and who was always optimistic and always you know that person died in Italy and she had to be grieved um and I don't think my family was ready for that I wasn't ready for that

And I think another thing that I had to realize, too, was that my family was also not the same after everything that had happened because they had gone through an experience that I did not have access to. And they were changed in ways that I didn't expect. And so there were some rough, rough periods there.

I have a three-year-old daughter and a one-and-a-half-year-old son. Yeah, yeah. And he's a cutie. But Eureka is at that wonderful age where she wants to know everything and she wants to know why. And part of that has been, you know, my story. She wants to know about when mommy went to Italy. And I thought a lot about how I would talk to her about this story.

But I've realized that, yes, I 100 percent believe in transparency and honesty. And I should always answer my daughter's questions with age appropriate honesty and not treat this story as like this weird taboo aspect of my life and our lives. But even more important than that, I think that children see what we do. more than they listen to what we say.

And I feel really confident that I can show my daughter that stuff will happen to you that is painful and out of your control and inevitable, but it doesn't define you and you can find your way through it. All of us go through something. And I want her to see deep down that that that is not the end, and that is not all, and that, in fact, that is just the beginning.
