Katerina Papoutsaki was welcomed by Grigoris Arnautoglou on The 2Night Show at midnight on Monday, February 5. The actress talked about her separation and the new everyday life she experiences with her children.
Separation is not easy
“When you have kids and you’re going through a divorce, that makes it more complex. It’s a new situation, it’s not easy to break up and especially for how the children perceive it. Both Maximos, my eldest son, and I do counseling,” says Katerina Papoutsaki.
“It never occurred to me to stay in this marriage until the children were grown. It seems outrageous to me. This is how you get used to the toxicity”, the actress confesses on the late-night show of ANT1.
I am also a child of divorced parents
“My parents divorced when I was 6-7 years old. So I try not to repeat the mistakes they made, because they are engraved in my feelings”, admits Katerina Papoutsaki after the conversation.
“There must be a good relationship, the children must not perceive that the parents are at war. She wants an honest attitude, which at least the children can bear, because on the other hand absolute honesty is something they cannot and it is not their role to manage it”, the actress points out.
“My eldest son, Maximos, often asks me. The holiday season in particular was a trigger, as he saw that he was not spending time with both parents. It takes time and effort”, admits Katerina Papoutsaki, closing the issue.
