Tori Spelling is opening up about the mom guilt she experiences after her divorce from Dean McDermott.
“I’m constantly letting [my kids] down because my life is not stable,” Spelling, 51, shared on the Thursday, December 5, episode of her iHeartRadio “Misspelling” podcast. “Their lives are not stable. The love’s there, but they’re on this roller-coaster with me, unfortunately.”
Spelling — who shares Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 7, with McDermott — filed for divorce in March after nearly 18 years of marriage.
While recording her latest podcast episode, the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress said money is a stressor in her life.
“As a parent, financially, work was really stable for quite a long time,” she explained to guest Dr. Hillary Goldsher. “I had multiple shows and multiple product lines and brands and just was a workhouse and an empire. That’s when I had four of my kids and they were able to not see a different side. They were able to have a certain life that I provided for them through work and then all of a sudden, things weren’t stable.”
As Spelling and McDermott, 58, found themselves making headlines for their changing relationship, their kids also couldn’t avoid the chatter.
“They’re privy to more than I think that I’m comfortable with children being privy to just because we move as a family unit now because we’re just — I shouldn’t say fight or flight — but we’re going,” Spelling explained. “They’re on this journey with me and I can’t keep things from them. I have children that are old enough that they read things online. They read the false stuff, but they read the semi-accurate stuff and they read the true stuff.”
While Spelling wants to receive some therapy, she hasn’t “had a chance” partly due to her busy schedule.
The actress explained that in the last three months, she’s been “working my butt off” and filming a new project.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have been making headlines since their scandalous start. When the pair met in 2005, McDermott was married to Mary Jo Eustace, with whom he shares son Jack, and Spelling was married to Charlie Shanian. “It was love at first sight. I fell so hard … Then I noticed he had a […]
While it may be good financially, Spelling feels guilt that her eldest daughter has to step up and help take care of the family.
“When I’m working and I’m gone all day, it falls a lot on my 16-year-old to really oversee the family,” she said. “I feel really guilty when I come home at the end of the day.”
Spelling added, “People have babysitters or nannies or housekeepers or things like that, but we’re just us — I know that’s probably really hard for the public to understand, but it’s true.”
