Angelina Jolie feels "stronger" after going through "difficult times" with her husband.

Although the 42-year-old actress only filed for divorce from her husband, with whom she had six children, a year ago, she now admitted to People magazine: "I had my ups and downs, but I think I'm a little stronger now. We all go through difficult times, but as a mother you are first and foremost responsible for your children. They go through formative years and that's the key. I haven't worked for over a year now because of them needed me at home. We all locked ourselves in a bit and I think they can’t wait to go out again. "

She had received an incredible amount of support from her offspring: "They really help me so much. We are such a unit. They are the best friends I have ever had. Nobody in my whole life has stood by me as much as they have. " The children would slowly get used to the new living conditions. In September 2016, the two Hollywood stars announced that they would go their separate ways. Angelina then moved out of the shared villa with the children and rented another house for nine months before looking for a new home in Los Angeles. To the New York Times newspaper, she admits: "It took me a few months to realize that I have to do it. That there has to be a home. A new home."
