Suvari admits she had to convince herself to walk outside her house. That it’s okay to move out there. “I remember sitting on our balcony saying, ‘I have to get out of the house. I have to get out of the house.’
Her husband Michael Hope pushed her all the way. “My husband, he said, ‘You can go. You can go for a walk.’ But I don’t think I can.” She said she felt like she was “going crazy” after giving birth to Christopher.
“I still struggle with that. That I don’t need to be in it [my son’s] facing 24/7 to raise a good human because of my fear. It’s a lot of work,” he admits and “wishes” he didn’t have this feeling.

It was a big surprise, an absolute miracle!”
