Missed a birthday.

Got back for the party, but missed the actual birthday.

And my daughter's 21 now, and she still talks about it.

Sure.

I've seen so many mothers do it now and having done it myself, remembering that awful push-pull of I'm kind of away from the family unit for way too long for it to be healthy.

I kind of feel like with kids, it's a little bit, for the most part, apart from my daughter remembering the birthday thing, it's a little bit like water off a duck's back, a little bit.

Yeah.

Whereas I think for us, we kind of... Self-flagellate.

Yeah, and there's like still trauma there.

I still think about it.

Yeah, that's it.

You also have that weird thing.

I can only assume it's how people feel when they get out of prison.

You sort of forget how to operate in normal life.

You're sort of isolated from everything else.

And all you do is get up.

Someone picks you up in a car, feeds you, takes you to the set, feeds you some more.

All you're doing is sort of working and being cosseted and then put back in a car and then brought home.

And when you get back into your family environment, you just don't know how to operate for a while.

Yeah.
