'I think for a lot of people who have been on a fertility journey, Mother's Day brings so much pain,' the actress, who was on a promotional train for her latest series L.A.'s Finest, began. 

'It just feels like a sick joke, of all of your, "I'm using my finger quotes here," "failures" as a woman. 

'And when people are like, 'You're not complete until you become a mom," and you're like, "D***, do I have any worth?" So Mother's Day just brings all of that up.'

She went on to discuss her personal situation, which sees her as a both a step-mother and a biological mom to her own child. 

'So trying to keep that in mind, you know at 46, celebrating my first Mother's Day, my family were like, "Well, You've been celebrating Mother's Day with the boys as a step mother!" And I was like, "But there is no Step Mother's Day. You gotta stay in your lane."'

'Ya, I'm doing the work, I'm in the trenches but it's not my day. With Kaav, it felt like this is a day that I'm okay to celebrate loud and proud and stand out front. But I also tried not to lose sight of for a lot of people it's a very painful day.'
