Halle Berry talks about suicide attempt
Thursday 29 March 2007
The 40-year-old Hollywood star told Parade magazine that she considered ending her life after she split from baseball player David Justice.
Berry said: "I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me."
"She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do."
"It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low. I promised myself I would never be a coward again," she said.
The actress also revealed that her marriage to actor singer Eric Benet was "really horrific".
"We were in sex rehab after one year. I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone's needs before mine," she said.
Berry, who is now dating model Gabriel Aubry, said that her next goal is to start a family.
"I've accomplished things I never thought I would. Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself."
