Private Practice star Kate Walsh is on the cover of the March 2009 issue of Redbook magazine. In the issue she opens up about her brief 15-month marriage to Alex Young. She also talks about turning to her friends for support in wake of her sudden divorce.
On her divorce: ”I don’t think anyone gets married thinking that they will get divorced. We certainly did not. Alex and I still care for each other, and I wish him nothing but the best. The silver lining to this, however, is that I have a wonderful family and a great group of friends who really showed their support and encouragement, and for that I am truly grateful.”
On her insecurity: “I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice. Sometimes I come off as confident, but really I am a quivering little wharf rat underneath who is radically insecure and deeply in need of love and understand.”
On turning to her friends for support: “I have gone through ups and down, and it’s human nature for someone to judge and say, ‘Here’s what you need to do.’ But the most truly useful thing to do is to shut up and listen and tell the person that you’re there for them unequivocally.”
Kate seems like a great gal. Hopefully, she can chalk Alex up to a lapse of good judgement and be one bad apple closer to her McDreamy.
