Interview with Red Magazine
The 44-year-old actress Abbington began her conversation with the interviewer of Red Magazine by telling about the sufferings that caused her a break with her husband. That's what the movie star said about it:

The most difficult thing was to wake up in the morning in an empty bed. I opened my eyes and realized that next to me there was no loved one, someone who was everything to me for 16 years. Tears rolled from my eyes, and this could last several hours. So I lay in bed, looking at the empty pillow next to me, and did not know what to do next. To my great happiness a week later these sufferings ceased, and I began to wake up already without tears. This state became a certain feature, after which a new life began without my husband. "

However, thanks to this, I learned a lot about myself. It was a journey of an extraordinary nature to the depth of oneself. It was a fight against my worst fears. However, now all this is over. "
