I felt like he didn't care about any of my needs or my wants.
I've always wanted love and that wasn't it.
So she asked Chris for a divorce and... He basically told me, you can leave.
Even though she had asked for the separation, it wasn't easy.
They had a years-long custody battle.
It was a very, very painful, difficult divorce.
I felt very unsteady and scared during that period.
During this time, she leaned on her older sister, Marisa.
Of all the women surrounding Saskia, all the people you'll hear from this season, Marisa is Saskia's rock.
She drove Saskia to every one of our interviews, and she sat in the next room while we talked, just so Saskia could feel her support.
Saskia is my best friend.
Over my lifetime, she's been the one person that I can be myself around and say anything to, and I feel like that's mutual.
When Saskia first moved out, she stayed with Marisa.
Marisa saw her sister cope with the separation.
She was fragile, you know, definitely wanted it to work and did not want to be moving on and becoming a single parent to two little kids.
I remember her crying a lot.
But at the same time, she was strong.
She went out and got herself an apartment.
She networked with her friends.
