“Sometimes I can’t believe I’m not a drug addict or an alcoholic, ” Hargitay said in a Good Housekeeping interview. “I would lapse into catastrophic thinking a lot, where I was just convinced that the worst thing would happen. But I worked hard to stop those patterns, because I realized, if you think something’s going to end badly, sweetheart, it will.”
In recent years, however, Hargitay began to understand her mother and embrace her memory more. This came from becoming a mom herself.
“Being a wife and mother is my life, and that gives me the most joy,” she said. “I understand [my mother] in a new way that gives me peace. Now I understand the love she had in her, and it makes me feel closer to her.”
Hargitay and her husband, Peter Hermann, have been married since 2004 and have three children together: 11-year-old August and 6-year-olds Amaya and Andrew.
Here she is with Hermann in a photo she shared on Instagram Aug. 4 with the caption: “Me and my guy… #TwoForTheRoad #TwoForTheSkies#ComeFlyWithMe #TravelCompanion”
Recently, the “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” star posted a special picture of her mom on social media.
The Instagram photo captures both actresses’ beauty and shows a real connection between them. What a lovely tribute to her mom!
Cheers to Hargitay for working through the loss of her mom in such a positive, honest way.
