The thespain said she was scared for her whole family during her marriage, and it took a lot for her to be in a position she felt separating from her baby's father was the best solution.

The mother of six said the divorce had been traumatic and alluded that problems in their marriage had gone on for over the last decade, but she could not disclose the details.

She noted no matter the number of people who know the truth about her and the situation she has been through, she got to have her peace.

Pitt is alleged to have had a physical altercation with their firstborn son Maddox in the past, and that is said to be one of the reasons that led to Angelina filing for divorce.

The couple shares six children between ages 20 to 13 and are currently in an ongoing custody battle. Maddox is not included in it as he's no longer a minor.

Angelina Jolie speaks on career

Recently, Angelina, who starred in the movie Maleficent, revealed that the family drama had denied her time and concentration, making it difficult to commit to her directing aspiration.

That made her stick to acting as she tries to balance her Hollywood career and family.

“I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that has not made it possible for me to direct for a few years,” she told Entertainment Weekly.

According to her, the situation means that she needs to do shorter and less involving jobs to create more time for her children.
