"We say Mommy has a house and Daddy has a house but she’s pretty young to have an in-depth conversation," Rachel said. "Most important for me is that Briar is okay and secure and stable. No matter what I’m dealing with or how much it hurts or how much anger there is, it’s just about her."

Rachel looks to her mom, sex therapist Janice Stango, who divorced her dad, TV producer Danny Bilson, when the actress was 9 years old, as inspiration. "My mom was a great mom," she said. "My parents went through a divorce and she showed me nothing but love so I was totally secure and okay when she did."
